Bruce Wilcox, the author of the Nemesis go-playing program, has now released another go-playing program, Ego. This program has 9 personalities: - Earthy likes to build territory - Airy likes to build influence - Fiery is aggressive - the other personalities switch to this when they are losing - Watery is defensive - they switch to this when they are winning - Samurai is the strongest personality, being a balanced blend of the others - Leaper likes to tenuki - Psycho starts the game by making a line of large knight's moves across the board - Pirate is keener on annulling your territory and influence than on building its own - Schizo switches at random among the other personalities The possibility of playing against any of these personalities adds a lot to the interest of the program.
