Everytime I tried one of those games, after the fuseki stage I became confused as to what I was trying to do in the game and ended up making nonsensical moves. Sure, I could probably sit down for 5 minutes a move to reassess the board, but that defeats the purpose of correspondance where you don't have a lot of time? I'd rather just play live on kgs for a 20-60 minute game.

i'm almost never in a situation where i can go 30-40 minutes without distractions  i'm always playing at least a dozen correspondence games though. somehow its easy for me to remember what i was doing in each game. maybe cause i've always played this way since i started. if you ever change your mind please challenge me!

Best of luck, so B18 and D18 are what the solution offers as the first two moves, although I don't understand why D18 is whites response because to me, cutting at B17 seems to almost certainly offer just one eye for black. bear in mind this is a changho Lee game and the whole board is shown for a reason

Also if White plays B17 in move 2, Black can respond with D18 which as far as I can see is bad news for white

I was thinking "Well, I've only won one 19x19 ever, and it was thanks to a handicap of 6, so maybe for my first random 19x19 I should set a range of 18k-25k. That should work to ensure I get someone roughly on par with me." http://online-go.com/game/1084900 I never thought curb-stomping a player could feel more shameful or boring. If it weren't for some rudimentary logic and chat, I'd have thought I was facing a random bot. I think I'm going to set a minimum of like 22k from now on.

Capturing with N15 at move 24 is a move that should be automatic for a player that level. You may be right that he could have beaten that opponent at 9 stones though. But I would say that guy is 28k-29k... so I'd put Pander at 20k.

I was just trying to make them fast enough to ensure he couldn't time me out. Later on I left my own groups in atari for no reason other than that I knew he wouldn't take them (whether because he didn't feel like it or didn't notice them I can't say). Look at my games with Uranus if you want to see what's closer to my level.
