Re: Book or PDF?

Regarding how stuff will look on a small screen: if it's PDF and it does not fit, my reader will zoom to fit to page, which means it becomes unreadable for too small fonts. Of course zooming is possible, but then you have to pan around the page, and again not everything fits on the screen at the ...

Re: Piracy in the Go industry.

Not only are we derailing hard from the topic, but I feel like we're arguing for the sake of arguing on this FLAC topic and this is all rather pointless bantering. If Redundant can't find the music he likes in FLAC format outside of pirating, that's that. It's not hard to provide examples where ...

Re: Piracy in the Go industry.


There's also the fact that getting digital music legally in some formats is nearly impossible. For example, I've never come across a place that sells FLAC, my preferred audio format.

Re: Terrible Tesuji (and how to develop it)

If you are 1d or weaker, there is an incredible amount of aji keshi in each game. It's a real disease. The weaker you are, the more each
position is played out leaving no aji, for DDK this means even endgame exchanges in fuseki. This does simplify the game a lot, but obviously
all other ...

Re: Automatch issue


Too many people were aborting automatch games when they didn't like the matchup, so they made it this way.

I don't understand. Why is it a good idea to force people to play someone they don't want to? And even if there
is some reason i don't see: When there are no first moves from the other side ...

Automatch issue

It happens quite often that automatch takes a long time to find an opponent, and people forget or go AFK.
Then you go to a game and your opponent is not there, and you have to wait 25 minutes, or escape. Some people
even use this strategy on purpose, to increase their rank, but even as a mistake it ...
