Life In 19x19

I've added Kyrgyzstan now in the "Other Country" section.
I've heard they will also join the pandanet team championship!

I do it.

Previously, it has been easy to follow titles on the EGF page of all European Go Congresses, but this year there is no entry for the European Champion (yet) because this year it has not been determined at a European Go Congress.

A statement by the EGF could clarify the issue. Not sure if this ...

An upper limit to grades was not discussed in the commission, but the new formulae imply an upper limit of 13d/21p EGF, assumed (roughly) to correspond to perfect play. A theoretical entity of this level would be able to give 5 or 6 stones handicap to a top European player (~8d/4p EGF) and 3 or 4 ...

@Javaness: Sorry, I didn't know about those EGF pair go rules and the significance of the country code in the EGD.
But perhaps it's something to address in a different topic in the EGF subforum, because it's outside the investigations and recommendations of the commission and I know very little ...

I guess most of the difficult cases origin from players which pay to two clubs: one in their home country and one where they live. Here i've seen both solutions and i guess both are fine.
The club should always match the country.
It shouldn't be the player's nationality, this should be handled ...

Why do you get 10 LDPs for winning the grand prix finale, but no LDPs for winning games? It makes no sense to win LDPs for wins in bonus Grand Prix tournaments, but no LDPs for winning in the Grand Prix finale. I agree with you. Will ask the pro commission if we can update this too!

And there was ...

I updated bit the pro section on the EGF webpage. Each player has now his own page where the promotional reports are linked.
I also added the promotional report of Ali which is now official.
The rules are updated: The Grand Prix Finale is counted like the other big tournaments.
https://www ...

According the EGD Ali has been promoted to 2p. Correct. But I saw that they still didn't post his promotion report. I believe that is because they haven't decided officially how many LDPs to award to the winner of the Grand Prix. Actually we are aware of it. Ali still couldn't gather all the games ...

Usually it helps if you simply reconnect to the sever once again: Top right "Server" -> choose a server -> click the button "Server:" then login in again.

Another point to consider - does the EGF really own the EGD? Not sure their relationship is like that.
I quote from the regulations article 25 :
The EGF owns all Official European Ranking Lists and is the beneficial owner of any and all intellectual property rights which may now or at any time in ...

Can't say I would fancy the attempt myself

it's online now

we hope to improve the info about the european pros and move them more in front (and kick the forum into the background) soon.

You can load private games in a room and then download them. I guess it's the same for teaching games if you are the teacher?!

2 wildcards to 14 seeds doesn't sound like a terrible ratio to me. Since their system had a clear diagram and simple rules I liked it. However, at the back of my mind I can't help thinking about just how many different systems there have been.

On a pernickety point of order, the motion is proposed ...

The agenda 2016 is almost complete.
will there be a European Student Go Team League 2016/17 (decided)?
Good question! There are actually two eurpean student team tournaments. One will take place in Petrosavodsk in September and the other one is online .

There was no application to hold the real ...
