Life In 19x19

What is Igodou, other than an attempt to appear superior through use of fancy foreign language?

P.S. I don't think top Koreans will be worrying much yet seeing as this was a female only competition so has a significantly weaker field. Nevertheless well done Fujisawa.

Yep, what else would it be ...

You can try unofficial JSON API for KGS Go Server, MetaKGS (m).
I believe you can GET /api/archives/:user which contains the user's latest rank.

Note: MetaKGS is in beta state, and so the APIs may change without notice.

Wow! It's a great project.

Sadly GET /api/archives/:user do not include the ...

What kind of site are you planning that will be visited mainly by KGS players where you would not request/trust their self-reported rank but will request, receive, and then trust their self-reported username?

Is not about the trust in the user, is about having the rank always up-to-date without ...

Is there any way to get the rank of user knowing their users name? (similarly to their rank graph)

I'm developing a website, I would like to use the KGS rank of the user to tune the contents that they get (show the ones more interesting for their level). But I don't know if obtaining the rank from ...

Hello,
I am currently in Tokyo and searching for a friendly go-club.
Do you have to be a student at the University of Tokyo to go to the go club or is it open to anyone ?
KGS 7d sounds nice, because I am searching for strong players and I heard it is hard to find them in regular go clubs in Tokyo ...

- I prefer not to know the last move, but it can be helpful to allow the user choose if he/she wants to see it (as a hint). I prefer not to make anything configurable unless I absolutely have to. I doubt this is important enough for most users to meet that criteria.

I agree, not configurable is ...

Love it!

So far I have a couple of suggestions:

- I prefer not to know the last move, but it can be helpful to allow the user choose if he/she wants to see it (as a hint).
- The option of reseting your ranking would be nice (to recheck your level after a long time with out using it).
- A Profile ...

Following the tradition.

After fulling partially my 2013 Go resolutions (Japanese 1d and going to the university Go club), this year I want to:
- Reach at least Japanese 3d
- Take class regular extra classes from a pro that I know
- Claim to European Yunguseng League D
- Do lots of L&D problems ...

...xDragon purchases some Coca Cola in the movie theater...

"...purchases..."?

I think you just undermined your own analogy. XDragon didn't pay for anything.

Even if he may not pay directly (that he could be doing it by being a KGS+ or playing from android), at least he is paying indirectly ...

It's not that bad.
I will say that you are too afraid to lose any of your stones, even a single one. And you try to atari anything that is atariable. Both really hard to overcome bad habits (they will hunt you in a much softer way at least until 1d).

Also probably you shold focus in learning where ...

I will say that is a really really bad idea. Let me explain:

First, Go still remains to be a perfect information game including time, meaning that even if you hide the clock of your oponent, you can actually calculate your oponent time (for pratical purposes is mor confortable just to play with a ...

Right now I'm going to the Go club at the University of Tokyo.

We should be around 25 people (but only a few come regularly) , we have 2 leagues, one of the strongest players that are KGS 7d and a second one for members thad need 3-5 handicap stones with them. After that we have some more people ...

I'm into crypto too. I will take a look if I get some free time (recently I'm too busy with my PhD).

What I can do right now, is recommend you this two free courses from Stanford:
m
m

It requires some basic math, and some programming (optional). After that class you will have strong tools to ...
