Life In 19x19

I used to do that when I was first learning how to play. Did that with my games on IGS because I didn't have anyone around me to actually play with and wanted to get used to playing on a real board. The perspective difference can throw off your eye if you're not used to it.

Great idea I have bookmarked it. Your videos and their humor is usually appreciated.
Best wishes for the site!


Always good to hear! I've received more than one comment saying that my content is too informal.


Nice page. Though really there is no reason to have that content comming slow sign ...

Ever since I first created my youtube channel showcasing my lessons and various games on various servers, the harsh critique I've received was that the other content on said channel angered a lot of players who did not want to see anything else besides go. Well, one of my main objectives is to ...

Got a friend in china right now. In tianjin nankai and heping district looking for places to play go. He says google has failed him and he can't access this forum in china due to the great firewall. Anyone know any spots i can pass along to him so he can actually enjoy his stay

help him, L19xkenobi ...

Sorry, his kgs id is not mine to give out.

No, that's for the japanese. Now the registration entries might be the same with the japanese and eweiqi's chinese registration, but again I'm not sure. Just wondering if the old thread that someone was kind enough to provide ...

Perhaps i missed it, but I can't seem to find the old article m that was found here with nice translations of the entire registration process. A friend of mine would like to register and I do not know where else to point them. I do not wish to point them to the Japanese registration due to the ...

I hope you don't mind if i comment on a few of the interesting points you raised.

Strong player: I want everyone to select where he or she would play in this position.
Strong player: Hah, you're all wrong, the correct move is here!
Strong player: Now don't you all want to purchase lessons from me ...

I cannot improve any more, so that I've almost stopped playing.

This is a bit worrisome. If you're at the point where you're frustrated enough to stop playing, I think it would be a bad idea to take up something even more frustrating.

That said, i primarily focused on games which emphasize the ...

In my first two years of playing go I improved largely by memorizing professional games. I began around 8kyu and by the end of the first year I had reached 1dan. A friend of mine, when reaching a barrier of around 1kyu/1dan or so, took an even more extreme path. He stopped playing any go, only ...

Easy: we love your live commented games. The mediafire solution was great, as we could dowload the files to watch offline, but I guess youtube is easier for everyone.

You should still be able to download them off youtube. Off the top of my head i know of a program called jdownloader which will ...

Thank you very much for your generosity, spongebob. I'm sorry the quality of the videos isn't better. My harddrive died not too long ago resulting in the loss of raw video i could have used for HD. Instead I'm stuck with what livestream encodes them as.

Also, thanks for the sub frenchdude. Subs ...

For those of you who do not already know, I set up a livestream account (which could be found here m) awhile ago in order to record my lectures as well as my games, all with commentary. It was well received, videos began to accumulate, and everything was fine...for awhile. Trouble is i quickly ran ...

Due to storage limitations on livestream, as well as those who cannot stream livestream due to bandwith problems, i've gone ahead and uploaded one of my lectures here m for download. In the future i plan on creating a website to archive all past lectures in a similar fashion...just as soon as i ...
