Subject: HEX- a variation of GO?

Are there any GO players here who also play HEX? This is the game invented by two men independently- one of them was John Nash a part of his work in game theory at Princeton. I'm curious if there are many players in the USA. I tend to think of this game as a avariation on GO- certainly seems to have been inspired by GO.

Fwiffo: So do we all pretty much agree that 6.5 would be the better Komi to use? Rather than 5.5?

Subject: Go komi and Go sites

Does anyone think that perhaps a Komi of 5.5 is too low? I prefer 6.5 and I have heard some tournaments are using 7.5 but not many as of yet. I also recommend the site from the American Go Associaton and for excellent Go products such as books, sets, and software try Samarkand- the American player Janice Kim owns Samarkand.
