An interview/profile of John Conway has been published at The Daily Princetonian. Conway talks about his life and his methods.

    I once attended a seminar by Conway where he was introduced as “the inventor of the Game of Go”. Conway pointed out this was a rather remarkable achievement and he wasn’t that old.
