I know of only one go game for computers. That is Weizenbaums go on MIT-MC.
It is written in lisp. As a complete and blundering novice, I usually took
it apart. That is not to put down the program, because it is a good
program, but to point out the difficulty of the logic of playing. 

what I have been considering recently is a program that will referee a go
game between one or more people (one if I am playing by mail and want to
record and store moves on line, 2 to play, three with a watcher, etc...).
That has also been done by Robert Maas at MIT-MC in Lisp, but I have not
really done too much on it because I am waiting for 4.2 and IPC because
getting two terminals to talk on 4.1 nicely is a real pain...
