I take a look at XiStrat. It looks nice, interesting and _fun_.
It seems to be very "pure mathematical", hopefully with nice 3D :)

My approach of go game, is not theoretical, but a physicist one:
I have observed the phenomenon go game, and i see some kind
of weird fluid, so i can put that in "nearly precise equation"
and solve that, with huge approximations, no corner cases, no
theory, no demonstration, but a lot of feeling (and a resigned phD in
computer modelling and variational data assimilation in oceanography)

And only after all that fun, if it looks good, create the
theory to justify all the approximations, and transform them 
to very rigourous math, for a co-Noble Price ;)

Cheers
Alain
