Re: How different are the time skills

I think it doesn't matter, because your opponent also has less time to think

But it may affect you differently. For example, some players panic when in byo-yomi, while others don't have the same problem with playing fast, and some always play very quickly anyway. I am bad at handling byo-yomi ...

Re: Expected Value Profit or Absolute Profit?

If a trick move increases the chance of winning a game, and a good strategy is one that has the highest chance to win the game, then playing the trick move is a good strategy. If it is good to play a good strategy, then playing the trick move is not bad. So the reason some would say trying to trick ...

Re: Global Reading Strategies

There's already a thread for this, please don't start it here again: m

I'm sorry, but I have not followed that topic, so I did not know it was the same. I just asked the question that came to my mind when reading Roberts post in this topic, because I thought it was interesting. But I will not say ...

Re: Global Reading Strategies

the only way to make sense of that stuff is by improving your subconscious, your intuition.

There is at least one other way because I do not use your "only" way but instead use analysis, knowledge, reasoning and reading. To start with just something more specific, global reading can include ...

Re: Flattened handicaps

How do you explain that "strong club players" don't like to use komi or free handicaps then?

I don't. It is easy to think of possible reasons why people would dislike those forms of handicap, but don't actually know. I still think that the explanation that it is because they want to be worshiped ...

Re: Go Sensations website hacked

So it is not effectively generating any money then?

I am still curious about what the strategy is. How does someone believe he will make money by posting on gosensations, I can't come up with a strategy that would work even in the imagination of the most delusional. I have no idea about any of this ...
