Life In 19x19

Hi mogosoup,

Your description of go ranking system is pretty accurate and similar to the one used in Chengdu and I suppose in many other Chinese cities.

Ranks are important for children as a 5dan diploma will help later to integrate the best universities too.

I hope you enjoy your stay in Guyang ...

WMSG in 2008 were covered by Asian press and tv.
Not by other countries.
China did a huge sponsorship too.

Let's see what happens this year.

It looks like this event is really difficult to organize and I hope it will be whatever is on it's road.

I hope furthermore that this time western press and tv will have some interest in it.
First WMSG was a huge success and event for many of us and a huge failure for advertising and report ...

Absolutely.

In Europe Nederland was a leading go country because they cared to teach their children.

And the 3 leading Asian go countries have go at school.

In France top young players are coming because some crazy people believed enough to teach go at school in Strasbourg.

Kibbutz in a strong players game not to forget.

Many new features!

To come back to the very first thread, the automatic forfeit after one day would just make Charlie feeling even more guilty to have a bad connection, and the cheater happy to have run away.

There seems to be a belief that the KGS escaper policy is preferred by those of us with poor connections. I strongly disagree. I think it encourages the non-escaping player to leave, immediately, when one's connection dies.

If even a small percentage of connection problems can be remedied within ...

A full screen board is a dream for me too and hopefully to get it with ease ,meaning I prefer a toggle mode as to resize by myself a window

Full screen that s from the edge of the screen no window border, headers...
Not a board with an edge too large.

It s a missing feature in all the existing ...

This thread was very interessing for me.

I noticed the location, like me in Asia from the complainers and I have the same problem as them. Some very high Dan players from Asia regularly suffer from lag problems too in their games.

I would add that kgs policy on escaping is so rude for all of us ...
