[computer-go] Big board

[dhillismail at netscape.net]

    Looks like a fractal to me. Easy to test: just calculate the fractal dimension (using e.g. the box counting method) over a range of board sizes. If you find a fractal (or mult-fractal) relationship - and maybe compare pure MC against one of the variants - you could probably get a decent paper out of it.
 
     You see similar images from percolation studies and iterated prisoner's dilemma.

this is very interesting. Can you compute some properties, like the 
distribution of cluster sizes, or diagrams for cluster size / boundary size 
pairs? I don't know much about fractals, but does this picture have some 
fractal properties, too?
