There are even several Go books that qualify as mathematics. Not to
mention hundreds or thousands of files or news messages. In fact, I
consider quite some by myself to be science. So I find it funny that you

I'd say it's more math than science. It's completely theory based and
has little if any practical applicaton.
There are plenty of quality, scientific papers that have be

The mathematical part is very good and even more mathematical. I.e.,
useful for fans of theory of applied mathematics to go and who want to

I read it many years ago. At the time I had never heard of
combinatorial game theory, and it's a bit hard to grasp the theory by

The whole theory is fascinating, but in the case of go
