I let my old account on OGS die, and created a new one for some reason I can't quite remember - I think it was something to do with password recovery being difficult if you have more than one account registered to the same email address, or some such.

Can I get my new account (seamus_android) added to the OGS group?

done

You played like six 0-point moves between move 82 and 100 while he played actual endgame, so he caught up. Aside from that, play less 3rd and 2nd line moves in the opening when it's obvious your opponent is going moyo, or it's going to be a sad middlegame for you

Move 200. Always.

That's not really it, you need to look at a move before you play it and ask "does this move do anything". Unless it's clearly microendgame already then making 5 points and doing nothing else counts as "not anything", and connecting two alive groups does too.

No I'm fairly sure it's move 200. I'm talking Japanese rules, at least

Trying to quit smoking, so I went ladder crazy at work yesterday and joined like 40 groups ladders and started 100 games.
If I can just fill my life with Go completely there will be no time to smoke.

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.

I think oiseaux did that to me on a 9x9 when I was new. I almost did that to someone else on a 19x19. Just means its an uneven fight in some capacity. Can you add handicap stones?
