Re: European Go Cultural Centre is closing its doors

I suppose that the figures for Paris are also influenced by that year's tournament's status in the European Grand Prix. It used to be the Grand Final, but then Berlin elbowed it out.
Not sure what any of this has to do with the EGCC though!

I was surprised by the announcement of the closure ...

Re: European Go Cultural Centre is closing its doors

The London Open last year moved out of its usual location (International Students House in central London) because of rising prices and moved to the new London Go Centre (which is in a bridge club further out). Entrants had to be turned away due to lack of space.

Hello, London Go Centre here, it ...

The result of this is now known.

Motion 2)
Only approved accounts can now be used to submit tournaments to the EGD.

I am a bit surprised at this, because the text " we want to propose that all submitting accounts in EGD must be approved by the EGF member representing the country where the ...

Re: 2018 Ratings Motions

In 2011 I went to Colombia for 3 months and met with the members of the Bogota Go club - Salto del Mico (which means monkey jump) and discovered that we had go friends in common because of Europeans who had met Colombians while attending training in Korea or world amateur matches.

Re: FindGoPlayers.com launch

It's a good idea - even if the author has done it before - but I could not add myself and a dojo - just either one or the other - so I chose the London City club - and I hope that all visitors to London will drop by :)

Re: stone clicking sound missing - windows 7

I tried the biguglyhack with cgoban-h.

sudo cp /home/richard/Downloads/javadummymixer_biguglyhack.jar /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/ext/

The sound of the stones returned as did Chid0ri's clock voice, but the the sound was broken up and when I or my opponent went into ...

Re: Improving Shape (Japanese Especially)


What conclusion, if any, should we draw from the absence in the list above of "Making Good Shape" by Rob Van Zeijst and Richard Bozulich ?

That I do not recommend it. It is too much teaching by example; if somebody wants that, he should look at pro games immediately because there he can get a ...

Re: New club poster

kirkmc, you talk as if i'm planning to bankrupt the creators of HNG. in fact, i would recommend the HNG manga & anime to anyone who comes to my club.

also, for the record, the club is non-profit.

Non-profit doesn't give you a license to steal.

I'm simply reacting to the initial comment that ...

Re: Improving Shape (Japanese Especially)


Good shape:
- pro games
- Shape Up!
- Dictionary of Basic Shapes
- haengma, tsumego and tesuji books
- joseki dictionaries
- EDIT: dictionaries of (good) move types (e.g., Joseki 1 Fundamentals, chapter 9)

The coverage is not very wide, but perhaps they are better than nothing.

The French forum http://forum.jeudego.org/ffg-tournois/ seems to be read by a fair few players but otherwise it is difficult to judge their utility :)
