12.6  GO, GO, GO (AND CHESS, TOO)!

Fancy a good game of go or chess?  You no longer have to head for the 
nearest park with a board in hand.  The Internet has a couple of machines 
that let you engage people from around the world in your favorite board 
games.  Or, if you prefer, you can watch matches in progress.
