Ah yeah that's very confusing. Just found the chat channel myself, and there was no notification I was accepted into the group.

Oh I thought there was. Everyone who has requested an invite got one.

Generally chat happens on ITGO. SA group, like pretty much every group on OGS is very quiet...

I'm not 10k but I play 25x25 sometimes, be prepared to spend about 2 hrs playing. It takes longer than u think, but it's very fun.

Given that it arises out of a joseki position, I'm sure it comes up enough that it's the kind of fact which is good for like 1/200th of a stone strength. Which is actually quite a lot. I'm sure most of us would be quite happy with a list of 200 clear situations we could just learn and get a stone stronger.

Gonna give the opposite advice as Khel... sounds like you're on tilt. Take some time off, do something else, come back to Go when you really want to play. As soon as your motivation is anything other than enjoyment you're going to start doing worse.

My "play more" is over a long period of time and not blitz raging 20 games in 3 hours like that one time I did. It also doesn't help that I read it "Why do I suck"

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.

What didn't we go to get deleted WuChou? What didn't we do? Also do people not really play on KGS much anymore? i try to get back into go and KGS seems pretty dead.

Not that I've been at it for more than a few months but it seems like OGS is the place to be.

It's getting harder to be bothered with KGS now that OGS has some more consistent games at my level (it's just easier to type 'o' into my address bar than it is to upgrade Java just to log into KGS), but I stop by when I can...

So, the 2014 Honinbo Cup on OGS has finally started up again, after like a year, for the second round... of 3 :negative:.

Anyway, I won all my first round games so now I'm facing all the other 3d+ guys who are obviously much more in practice than me. So you can expect six reviews of me losing horribly over the next few months.

At this rate we'll see the winner in 2016.

How do you feel about installing something that looks like it was written for windows 95?
Or something that looks like it was written for pre qt unix?

I love Win95. Everything except WinXP/7 does not compare to the glory that was once my favorite OS before it changed. Trust me, I did my HS assignments on what essentially was a toaster w/256MB because of reasons. When I first got a laptop it was the most miraculous experience ever.
