]I think you want to be careful picking the game to study; a non-trivial set of pro games turn into complicated fights based on deep, complex reading that I'm not sure would the most informative for most people (certainly not me). Maybe one of the stronger players could recommend a few games for us to study?

The best game is yoda nori vs chochikun. Crazy rear end game. Yoda wearing some kind of hosed up pyjamas, cho looks like a homeless person

From what sensei's library says, it looks like 10 seconds per move plus 10 1-minute byo-yomi periods "for longer thinking".

I always feel horrible when I do this. But then when it happens to me I shrug and go "cool, a win I guess?"

i think if you resign before turn 10 on OGS the game gets annulled anyway.

So I just discovered this wonderful game a few days ago, and been working through the ITWTG android app. Anyone want to play against a totally new person in a few hours?

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.

The first one is just because he was being blind and only looked if the zigzag pattern touches white and not that black can, you know, choose other moves in the ladder. I've done that too :(

KGS is best if you can get java working - otherwise OGS is quick. Although their challenge system kind of sucks, I always seem to wait 5 minutes from "waiting for game to begin" for it to start.

My laptop hates java, so I only use OGS now. I'm Pander there. Just get a login and you're basically ready to go. Not the greatest for random matches, but I never seem to have much trouble as a double-digit kyu.

Is it a JAva issue specifically?

E: I think Ive fallen head over heels like a besotted teenager for this game after the 2 games we played tonight. Thanks for the games and commentary, it was very helpful and fun. I think I've found myself a new hobby..

You guys probably get asked this alot but I'm trying to get into Go and have got all the basic rules down from http://playgo.to/iwtg/en/
I'm trying to make my way through http://senseis.xmp.net/ but it's pretty easy to lose focus on what to learn next. I've also tried various AIs but get pretty lost aswell during the games, any suggestions on how to improve?

Play. That site is going to be mostly useless for you at the moment because you don't have the basics down, the only way to start improving when you're new is to play a fuckton, lose a fuckton, and get your games reviewed.
