Re: Reporting a player who refuses to count

But how do I report him? And also, if there is a way to exploit bugs from refusing to count, Tygem should know, shouldn't they? Reporting bugs is a way for the community to support the server and make it better.

Reporting a player who refuses to count

Is there a way to report a player who refuses to count, even though the games is completely over? I was winning by a huge margin. No problem to play the game until the endgame, that's his right, but even after the game was over he kept on playing inside his own territory and refusing to count. Then ...

Re: Snapback - serial novel

I've just downloaded volume 1. I liked it pretty much. Enough suspense to get me interested. I haven't finished it yet, but as soon as I do, I'll come back for a more detailed opinion. But still, nice job.

Re: How to start teaching my son

When my daughter was around 3, we started playing on a cheap go set with a thin wooden board and some ceramic go stones. I think she enjoyed touching the real stones as a start. I tried to introduce to her the simple rules of the game myself but later on, we went through "The Interactive Way To Go ...

Re: How to start teaching my son

When he first saw the board and asked me to play with it (he was around 2, I think), he would also put pieces inside the squares. My wife didn't help at all. One day I saw them playing and she was also placing the stones inside the squares. She has no idea how to play go. But one day my son actually ...

Re: How to start teaching my son



As for teaching him about territory, you can start with the Capture Game, where the aim is to capture one stone. :)

That's actually a very good idea. I forgot that I have taught him how to capture one day. He understood that when you put four stones around one stone of the other color, I can ...

Re: How to start teaching my son

Sadly I'm from a small town in Brazil, so I have no one to play with. He does watch me play online sometimes, glancing on my computer's screen. Problem is, on those occasions he wants to sit on my lap and play himself. This is, obviously, very distracting for my game. So I tend only to play online ...

How to start teaching my son

First of all, I'm a single digit kyu player. I have no intention on becoming a go tutor. I'm just an English teacher. My son is turning 3 years old now and no, I'm not trying to force him to play go, but it's been over a year now that he noticed my goban in my study and he's always asked me to play ...

Coming back after a while

I've been off the grid for a while, since I had a kid three years ago. Now that my son is a little bigger and more independant, I'm thinking of coming back to the game. Problem is: I was never really good and, on top of that, I'm rusty. So I'm forgetting basic joseki patterns and tesuji. Direction ...

Re: MLily 2015 Final

Anyways, Ke Jie's won. That makes him a world champion for the third time in less than a year. What did you guys think of the games?
