[computer-go] Big board

[Chris Fant]

I like the idea of taking away the edges.  In fact, the engine that
generated this board are capable of doing that.  But not as a torus.
I simply wrap left-right and wrap up-down.  This is cleaner, IMO.  Go
is so pure.  I don't like the non-pureness of the edges.
