Re: Malkovich registration - sign up here to play

No, you shouldn't wait for others to pm you. That's submissive. You gotta take it to 'em, and be, like, "bro, I'll start with 3 stones, although I clearly won't need them, for I'll win by more than 20 points, yo."
Yo brah

First you be all beta like "no, brah, i would play you but i'm busy!" Now ...

@TheIntrepid

I'm fine with that. I'll be rather busy as well.

@MagicWand

I would probably need 3-4 stones if you're still interested :P.

I'll play whoever pm's me first :D

Re: #184 Boidhre vs Tomukaze

Pretty difficult ko for B now. W has several local threats and B not many large threats elsewhere.

Re: #184 Boidhre vs Tomukaze

It's a bit more complicated than they think, but I think W is dead.

Re: Gu Lingyi vs Chen Yaoye with Interesting Opening

Entered the position where white mirrors the Chinese fuseki into the Tygem database. White has a 62.6% win rate over 529 games. Note that most of these games are between amateurs (7d+ on Tygem).

That should at least be enough evidence to say that playing this way is not bad for white.

Re: magicwand versus drmwc

A quick estimate of the position shows W is behind at least 15 points on the board. The yose seems to be in B's favor as well. Can W really recover?
You can be sure Magicwand will pull all the stops to try and scrape some more points. You'll see some of his crazier moves soon, I reckon. Scraping ...

Re: Malkovich registration - sign up here to play

I've been a lurker for a while now. Finally decided to make an account! If anyone would like to play me, I am ~1k on KGS. I would prefer an even game with someone within 2 stones. Chinese rules. Let me know if you're interested!

EDIT: Handi games are ok too. Just dying for a game :(
