Yeah... Spose so.
I was wondering if maybe they are further targets to hit, but that would spoil the simplicity of the game. Can't have that in a game involving a go board and stones, could we?

Re: Mysterious game using goban and go stones.
Maybe a bit like the old pub game of Shove Ha'penny? But face-to-face instead of both shooting up the same board? Probly not a safe game to play in a pub atmosphere, with the opponent opposite.
But what are those two things standing on the board?
I never encountered it while living in Japan ...

Re: Reliable way to start estimating no. of go players?
The people with the greatest insight are the go server admins, who know ip addresses of the users. This, combined with email stats, could help a bit in finding unique number of users, along with a distribution of their playing frequency.
Sorry, no. Nowadays, IP and email addresses are disposable ...

Re: The KGS is dead, long live the KGS ?
I read that a few days ago. Is this Real Soon Now relating that a date has been set for an announcement, or rather that we should simply expect an announcement sometime soon?
Yes.
I have seen a draft of the announcement, so I know it exists. I think it had to be passed around a largish number of ...

Yup... but have you tried playing a game on one? I'm hoping for a magnified view and/or a confirmation button because I keep mis-tapping.

Re: New Mobile Friendly KGS Client - Shin KGS
*sigh*
Sorry about this... it's the same as when GoUniverse started and it had a single IP address, like ShinKGS does at the moment. Someone gets booted on KGS, then tries to log in with the same name through ShinKGS, and so gets autobooted. But that puts the sole IP address of ShinKGS into KGS ...

Re: Bag with strap for Go board?
...or something like this, if you have access to a lot of leather (although the bag itself could still be canvas, I suppose, but I'd still put the pockets on the outside of the straps):

Re: Bag with strap for Go board?
My board is very heavy and a pizza bag / backpack / etc wouldn't be suitable. There would be a lot of stress placed on the corners of the board as the material would stretch and strain around these areas.
That's why, if I were making such a bag, I'd have straps that go in a continuous pair of ...

Re: Bag with strap for Go board?
Start sweet-talking someone with a sewing machine that can handle canvas and heavy-duty webbing straps. Mine can't, so don't look at me, but that way you can specify your own dimensions and separate pockets for go-bowls and other extras, and with suitable padding and decoration if you want to get ...

Re: Can I still get a rank by playing a couple of bots?
You need to give the server upper and lower bounds to your strength in rated games, so it can calculate a solid rank. It's usually two wins and two losses in rated games, against solidly ranked players of about the same level (allowing for handicap). Rated games have "R" beside them in the list, and ...
