hmm the ranking system on ogs doesnt make much sense. I'm 27k and beat someone who was 19k and didnt go up even one rank. Maybe i should just adjust my rank manually.

Xom posted:Cho Chikun Elementary progress: 201/900 I tried my hand at 20 of them for ~20 minutes, can you tell me if my first move is right? 1. b19 2. b19 3. e18 4. d19 5. c19 twice 6. d19 7. d19 and then e18 8. a18 9. a19 and then e19 10. b19 11. d19 and then e18 12. d19 twice 13. d19 and then either e19 or e18 depending on white. 14. a19 and then d19 and then possible e18 again if white tries to still live. 15. b19 and if white e19 then c19 16. b19 and if white takes c19 17. b18, if white c19 then a18. If white c17 then a19. 18. a18 19. b19 20. b17 Hopefully I didn't mess up the coordinates.

For 14 I mean f18. 9 Is b19 and  Why did I say a?b19 for 20 seems simple enough if white b17 and then black b18. If white a18 then b17. Besides that

39 is the first somewhat tricky one, requiring an "under the stones" capture to live. I'm not sure I've ever seen that come up in a real game, though it's an old favorite of tsumego designers.

someone on OGS just abused an obvious misclick of mine and ignored my undo requests to turn a loss into a win by resignation and now i feel like i want to throw a go board at someone.

Wins and losses only matter in a tournament context. Rating is only a crude measure of progress, not a goal in and of itself. The vast majority of Go players - especially those on the internet - forget these things. If your opponent is so fixated on getting a win that he's going to refuse to undo an obvious clicko, he's really only cheating himself.

I'll be joining a bit late but I'm planning on being around to watch. I'm sure someone will relay to ITGO. If there isn't one by the time I'm on I'll do it myself.

I'm going to be watching the UFC event tonight but I guess I can have the Go game open in the background and check in during the walkouts and boring chatter between fights.

I'll relay again until the guy with the USGO account sobers up enough to start doing it again. And doing any limited translation of wbaduk comments until whenever/if there is any.

So who won? Gu Li looked to be way way ahead when I went to bed, but despite the monstrous moyo forming, Sedol was still calmly playing honte so it seemed like he felt it was all going according to plan. EDIT: Wow. W+0.5. I called it! Going to see how it went down now. You can get it here. xopods fucked around with this message at 14:01 on Feb 23, 2014 |

Apparently he was leading comfortably and screwed up the end game. Not so intriguing for the games of the century.

It's one of those games where the final board looks really in favour of black, but isn't. But that just might be me. Anyway, today is a good day. Lots of coffee, and going through my books

To be honest, the Problem books, Second Book of Go and Tesuji have been read cover-to-cover. I'm really only reading Life and Death at the mo. Direction is like you say a bit heavy, I bought it last year because I wanted something "different" to read on the way to work. Turns out it's really a sit down with the goban book anyway.

This is my entire book collection: Tesuji is a really good book. I'm going through it again and this time I plan to finish all of it. The other book is a rarity (title translation: Journey to the Kingdom of Go), I found it by accident hidden in a bookstore. It's from 1987 and probably the only brazilian book about go. It says volume 1 but I'm pretty sure it's the only one that was released.    It's full of random pictures like these, the author loves to use japanese terms for every thing (who the hell says hirageru?) and literally a third of the book is dedicated to comment a game between Kitani Minoru (B) and Iwamoto Kaoru (W) in 1949. It's a pretty cool game actually.
