Life In 19x19

KGS 1 dan took me 5 years, 1 month and 14 days. During that time I played 1144 games that were medium length (20-30 minutes). I also read many go books and practiced problem solving. Observing high level games also helped me to see the concepts I had learned being put into practice.

I was searching Windows registry for KGS settings. Apparently many of the default settings seem to be stored here, including things like connection port, game invitation message and default room to join.

Here are the steps for finding the page: (for PC running Windows)
1. Click start
2. In search ...

Do we know when this newly introduced bug is going to be fixed?

Aardvarks are crowding the tab.

I noticed a bug. Name ordering by rank won't be saved on exit. Every room has to be switched independently. Was this feature changed from "global" setting?

Posting references is one requirement for any reliable information whether in wikipedia or another website. Shrewd reader would then find the source of the claim and using the skills learned on university-level education on a relevant field, judge whether the research is reliable. I'm not competent ...

Is this the website?

Be careful of your sources. If you're worried about your health, consult your doctor.

I'm still struggling with finding out, what "fundamentals" actually mean, and once I have found it, I'll let you know (having found it out will probably mean to have broken through the wall that I had hit years ago).

- Fundamentals are the building blocks for making decision. I think this is ...

I've had a social room for chatting with my friends on KGS. Sadly I've found this room to have disappeared due to inactivity. Not many of my group of friends play go anymore and most of my own playing has been responding to challenges of other players. So the question I'm asking what are the ...

I put shortcut target as follows:
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Dsun.sound.useNewAudioEngine="false" "C:\Program Files\KGS\cgoban.jar"

It flashes a dos box and ends without launching CGoban.

Edit: I forgot -jar in the middle. Now it keeps that annoying dos box open and also opens ...

I've been opening KGS with cgoban.jnlp from desktop (it shows Java 6 splash screen). Cgoban.jar opens KGS too without the splash screen.

I assume that the Java executable it's pointing to is this:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\Java.exe

I'm not sure if that's the correct executable. There's java ...

- I have Java 6 update 26 and Java 6 update 31 (64-bit). KGS works fine with stone sounds too. If I install the latest Java then CGoban loads Java 7 where stone sounds are missing.

Does the stone placement sound and other sounds work correctly on java 7 update 55? I have a couple of older java versions installed. After I installed the newest version I got the same problem as PotatoDono had, but I don't want to risk uninstalling earlier versions if it's going to cost the sounds.

There was also a 8x8 game with chess pieces yearlier, which was played for a few moves.

If you were hired by Coca-cola to monitor a forum designed to get people to enjoy Coke more, how would you react to someone posting a thread which kept telling people that a certain Pepsi sponsored event link is really worth clicking?

Well, there are professional 9p players with radically different playing styles. Compare Lee Sedol's play to Lee Changho's or Otake Hideo's.
