Go Products and Services Last Modified: September 17, 2001 Herein are a number of useful addresses in the go universe. If you've got any suggestions or corrections, please let me know: . This list is sponsored by the AGA, but is not limited to USA addresses. I try to have the toplevel addresses from which other information can be accessed. For pointers to this and other go information, you can visit: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~wjh Fred Hansen ---- Recent Changes deleted Touchstone Games added Condor Toys ---- Notes: ; - Semicolons in addresses mean a newline is usual at that point. <...> - Values in angle brackets are email addresses. +aaa (bbb) cccccccc - Phone number where aaa is the country code, bbb is the area or city code, and cccccccc (possibly containing a hyphen) is the number itself. (1-800) ccc-cccc - Phone number good only from the USA or Canada. Addresses with email access are checked once a year or so, but locations with just physical addresses and phone numbers are not verified. ---- "And now a word from our sponsors..." Your membership in the American Go Association helps support the American Go Journal and an active go community, including clubs, tournaments, ratings computation, education, and the annual Go Congress. The association offers a number of publications: official rules, ratings list, list of US go clubs, and the TeleSuke program for playing go by telephone.
