OK, from what has been said, In simple terms, for me as DDK, is it correct to say...
A ponnuki shape, or in a corner etc, where 1 stone is taken and vice versa, creates an endless cycle, or could, so is KO?
So, this is not allowed.

Re: Confused by this
ponnuki, ぽんうき
This is not the right hiragana for ponnuki. Normally katakana now is used for the go terms.
hmm, did I miss the double consonant ん. odd my system didn't add it.
I am surprised by the use of katakana for go considering the katakana method of 'organics/animals/fish' and that of ...

Confused by this
m
I play T2 followed by S3, S3 snapback.
However, I'm likely out of my depth as even though I found the solution, I didn't think I could play a snap-back into that situation of a ponnuki, ぽんうき after he took my initial S3 stone.
Or, if I'm in a position to kill, is it allowed?
I assumed I would ...

Re: Cheap bowls (or substitute) with lids that stay shut?
TBH, I thought the lids were 'supposed' to be loose ?
I need some sort of straps for when I carry my bowls to the cafe though.

Re: Making Go digestible?
I'm also a go newbie.
I have started with the Janice Kim series and am currently into book 2.
I have just ordered a physical set but, I play 9X9 and 13X13 games against 'weak' engines to try to practice what I'm reading.

Re: Installing Fuego on Linux
I know this is an old post but, I have just (I think) successfully built fuego for linux mint which is Ubuntu based.
Do NOT use fuego 1.1 tar ball as it does NOT complile even with the changes above to UTC etc. (See former posts).
Instead, get the SVN master version of fuego-master either via SVN ...

Is an even game on 9X9 really worth 6.5 komi for white ?
Look, I'm really, really new to this but, have read a little and grasp the very basics I guess and until a few days ago I only played 9X9 with handicap stones in 'my' favour and Japanese rules 'Territory'.
So, I ventured over to KGS and registered. Played some 27kyu bot and lost by 0.5 points ...

Re: Hello from Jersey, Channel Islands.
Already I'm coming across weird conflicting terminology as the meanings in Go are quite different from Shogi but I'll hash through it all I guess like everyone else has had too.
Just curious about this. I play a little Shogi, but I haven't run into too much terminology difference. One I can ...

You can also look at the British Go Association at m there may even be another player lurking in the channel islands...

Hello from Jersey, Channel Islands.
I don't know Go, yet.
I understand the basic concept of it but it might take some reading, and playing to fathom it out.
For a couple of years now, the goban with it's black and white formations have drawn me in but I never really 'got it'.
I do tinker somewhat already with Shogi and it's variants ...
