Life In 19x19

If Admins won’t send out a mail to all the veterans of this beloved forum they will, at some time, give up checking in here – and L19 will lose them all.

Still missing you folks … I wonder why https://prod.lifein19x19.com works but https://lifein19x19.com doesn’t … is “prod” just used for hiding L9 from probable bad players (script kiddies, hackers)?

Very normal stress response. Hahaha, I appreciate your humour :D :bow:
(which, admittedly, released some Adrenalin and Cortisol into my system :o :shock: :lol: )

And what will come next—should we accuse Japan and Korea, and then the whole “West”, of culturally appropriating Weiqi?

Honestly, I do ...

The traditional name "Taichi" and the false name"tengen"
Mh… “traditional” vs. “false” makes me prick my ears


Committed to the restoration Chinese traditional Weiqi
Mh… I guess it is for similar reasons why I call smartphones “electro thingies” and GIF animations “wiggle images” :lol:

But ...

Oy, I can hardly express my joy <happy happy>

Colette Bezio’s beautiful comic story “Aji’s Quest” has finally arrived IN PRINT , released by Board N' Stones.

Enthusiastic, cheeky, a little impatient, but certainly not hindered by any prior knowledge, Aji allows himself to be sent by Master Tenuki ...

Hello KOCMOHABT, I’m a big fan of this plugin.

But now I switched back to Safari (on macOS) for several reasons, and I find I am missing your Web Go Board.

Would it be possible to load it as a script in, say, Tampermonkey? Or would you release it as a plugin?

I’d be willing to spend something on ...

I’ve followed the developer’s (Wolfey Studios) thread about this on the OGS forum, they regularly posted updates and asked for wishes etc., beautiful screenshots and animation!
And I also immediately purchased the game because I like to support Go devs … but must admit that I haven't played it yet b ...

I’ve seen screenshots from Cyberpunk 2077 that showed the lines correctly, seems to have to do with resolution or zoom state? But comments said the board position is always the same (I didn't see all screenshots nor have I played the game).

Depending on where you live, you may want to check out Mateusz Surma’s store … he has “Ceramic” Go stones there that allegedly are NOT Yunzi but I cannot see or feel a difference :)

PLUS they seem to be even less breakable than normal Yunzi.

AFAIK the first month or first 4 or five episodes are free.

Thanks, @And.

David Wu aka @lightvector seems to be a very kind person with high values.

I agree with all those except 9.
It’s originally a Go proverb, “A rich person shouldn’t look for a fight”, and I totally agree with it: It means that when you’re already winning, you shouldn’t take risks—after all we all know how it is to lose a won game, no? If you’re clearly leading, play ...

[…] "ze" instead of "the" (*)? […]

(*) This reminds me of someone talking about the go book "sink like a pro". LOL, I’m German but began speaking English at age of four, so at least my pronunciation is not “Germlish” (though my grammar may sometimes be) … some anglo people at first don’t realize ...

Well, what shall I say …

Hovered around 13k for one and a half year ~3–4 years ago, then strode up again, 12…11…10k … then plateau again (I prefer “plateau” to “wall” ); then, by last year’s end, got better again, 9…8k earlier this year, 7k for a week or so … and then fell back quickly (but it also ...
