Rain Delay

Rain Delay is a children’s game based on the age old adage of helping others. Well, at least when it will get you that scouting badge.

Players assist commuters on their way to work in the middle of a downpour – avoiding puddles and getting them to the train station under cover of umbrellas.

Being Asian, there are people who played it (Baduk), but I didn't pay attention and my father and I played chess.

In my last year of college, I got back into playing Chess online (Internet Chess Server) and taking an advanced theoretical physics class. My TA/grader hung out in the same computer workstation lab playing Go when I played Chess. One time, we were chatting and I mentioned that computers were on the verge of beating the best humans at Chess (it was 1993, so this 4 years before Deep Blue beat Kasparov), he mentioned that I should pick up Go as even the best Go programs would lose to an average professional player even with a large handicap.

I said, "I guess it's because less time has been spent developing the algorithm."

"No," he said. "It's more algorithmically complex by a lot!"

…

I had some free time 7 years later, so I and a friend (another physicist working in Silicon Valley) wanted to get into statistical programming (I guess that would be called AI now). We decided to learn Go in order to write a program (we never did).
