Re: Why are all go sites so 1990s?

I prefer stone colors that are ugly. Just pixelated vector ice cream goodness for me, thank you very much. The more detail, the more it sucks. It makes it more abstract that way, I guess. :D

Re: Oso's Joseki Dictionary

Yes, it's mostly my own analysis in my own spare time, so the quality of the dictionary probably reflects that! haha!

Oso's Joseki Dictionary

Hello, everyone. It's a pitiful excuse for a dictionary, but I've been working on it whenever I've been able to get a chance. Right now the sgf file is frightningly small, but I'll be updating it whenever I get the chance(Read: When I get off me bum )

Right now It has about 9 variations, and would ...

fuseki problem ein hanna

Firstly, you should know that my computer bit the dust recently, so internet access has been a pain . But on a more cheerful note, I found this fuseki, and so I'll post it on sgf format. Black to play.

Re: It'd be cool if there were a go resource that...

Hey I have a question. I'm fairly good at paintings. Do you think it might help raise interest in the game if I were to make a series of paintings featuring, say famous rappers or other pop culture icons playing go? I could distribute them on deviantART to get exposure, and maybe go from there.

Re: Malkovich registration - sign up here to play

This looks like fun. I'll play anyone at an even game. Any color is fine. Any komi is fine(though keep it below 10.5 please!) Also, i'd prefer to have the game closed book to the players until its over. Just set up a game and I'll join!

Re: It'd be cool if there were a go resource that...

Hehe, they are actually just a dictionary of corner variations. I'm not strong enough to ensure optimum play for each move, but I am strong enough to have each variation result in being about equal for each side, so I say so in my opening remarks :p

Re: Ask a question, get an answer (hopefully)

Hello tabemasu, sir. I would be honored if I could receive a review of my game in the oza thread in the game analysis forum. I put my heart and soul into that game, and it lasted well over two days. Sincerely, oso. Thank you.

Re: It'd be cool if there were a go resource that...

Right now in my spare time I'm compiling my own joseki database filled with josekis of my own invention. I don't know if anyone would be interested in them but when I reach 1000 variations someone might like to look at them. The sgf file is slowly getting filled with interesting comments and stuff.

Re: Training for North American Oza

You know, I think you guys are right. I could reinforce bad habits and blind spots by playing myself. I don't want to do that. Having said that, it wo7ld mean a lot to me if you guys could go through what I have so far and tell me just how far you think I've come, and an honest appraisal of how far ...
