Life In 19x19

Awesome link above! We'll try to get in touch with the Seattle Go Center to see what's in their archive. CCTV in China would be a terrific resource also, so we'll reach out to them and see what additional old black-and-white footage they have.

Hi folks,

Hi 19x19ers,

This is Cole Pruitt from The Surrounding Game documentary - I wanted to make another general community announcement about the film to any folks interested.

As several people have noted, I think our admitted inconsistency of message and lack of clarity are big issues ...

The most important thing you can do for your contributors is let them make the decisions. You don't get to decide whether or not you get another $30k. You can decide whether or not you think it's best, but you need to let your contributors decide whether or not they want this upgrade, since this is ...

Hi everyone,

This is Cole Pruitt from the Surrounding Game documentary. I just joined lifein19x19 (please forgive me if I make any board-specific etiquette faux-pas, like making gigantic posts).
