Re: Book recommendations? (sci-fi or fantasy)

A Song of Ice and Fire by GRR MArtin is really really good, It's a bit long (more than 12 books) but it is one of the best fantasy novel i've ever read =)

How many stones?

Hi all!

I play quite often with a friend, which has no rank (actually so do I ...). I always beat him by 70/80 points,
so how many handy stones should i've give to him to play a fair game?


Thanx :D

Re: Go Music

I usually play with a relaxing music, but very rarely with a song. I prefer to listen to the 'song' of waves on a beach =)

Re: Play with a fan?

In all of my visits to the local go salons in Beijing, I have never seen anyone hold or use a fan while playing.

Re: Best version of linux?

That would bind me to hard to my past actions. I prefer to start each day with a clean slate.


So do I, but actually, I think it is due to the very short boot of today's computer ( it was a bit boring to have to wait 1 min just for reading a mail! )

Re: My plan to become 3-kyu in 4 weeks!

I hit a slow period around 2k-1k KGS, but I hit 1d in april and now I'm almost 2d, so I dunno.. Study habits have not changed (in that they are nonexistent now and before), so I think these statements about improvement do not always apply

You've reached 2D in 2months from shodan?
