Our September CJ Online Extras are:

• Deep Blue vs. Kasparov - OK, so a computer can beat a human chess master. But can a computer hold its own with a human "go" (Japanese igo) expert? In "Can Computers 'Go' Beyond Chess," Thomas Caldwell looks at the complexities of the game of go, and reveals why the brute calculation power of a computer is still no match for human logic and intuition. (Subscribers Only)

• Virus reports in Japan tripled between March and June 1997 (See "Virus Reports Reach All-Time High in June" in Industry News, page 9.) In "Putting Viruses Under the 'Scope," the Computing Japan editors offer a concise reference on what you should watch out for: a description of the common viruses, what systems they are infecting, and the most common paths through which infections occur. (Subscribers Only)

• In August, Computing Japan publisher Terrie Lloyd gave his thoughts on what separates competent recruiting firms from unscrupulous headhunters (See "Headhunters - Scraping a Raw Nerve.") In September, he offers a second controversial installment of the Inside Story on the IT industry. (Public Access)
