Life In 19x19

Anyway, I know that reading better can help all of this. But I still need to remain vigilant in trying to maintain flexibility in my opponent's area when the result of the situation is not clear.
I'm not sure if this also constitutes reading (whether it does is more of a conceptual/translational ...

I'm not sure if I should be asking this here, but have you ever managed to figure out what he means by having a fixed idea? The mind control score might actually be the one thing we should aim at minimizing.

There's a lot of talk about how playing Go is an exercise in the discovery of truth. I ...

The question of mindset

Long time no see, friends. After taking a break of over two months following an unfortunate familial incident, I decided to get myself back into the groove of regular practice, with mixed results. The time away from the board was enough to make my intuition slightly ...

That's really interesting! Hopefully it pays off, best of luck : )

I can recommend Matt Fitzgerald's How bad do you want it for that.

I'd love to know if it's possible to find these in Europe. I looked around some more and less popular outlets, but not much from Segoe is available.

So it does seem that the referee thought that there was continuing netlag. What I think about that is irrelevant.

There is a disconnect between the statements of MK and MS, and this confusion is very relevant to the discussion.
In this online setup, unless you have a witness to the first loss of ...

Anyway, all I want to do with the remaining 10 games of the Yunguseng season is to re-capture the joy of playing Go. That's all I'm interested in now.

Today, more by accident than it being planned, I found myself on OGS for some reason and I had about 40 minutes before I had to leave, so I played ...

by not complaining about the continuing netlag, Surma had tacitly accepted the KGS time as authoritative.

MS does not suggest that he had continuing netlag. He states that had one incident before. You are aware of that already.
That's what he meant by 'continuing netlag'. Consider the rest of ...

Technology is hard as people dont need to go outside for games and can play anywhere.

Yeah, I mean, hey - how else are you going to lag out on time? Face to face tournaments are really bad for that!
O Hesus Grande, how much more of this.

From personal experience, I think it's more important to ...

Now, you may disagree with the ruling, and you may be right, but the referee gave a principled, reasoned ruling, even if he was mistaken. Nobody was punished.
I'm starting to believe that the long and nasty arm of the language barrier is meddling things again. Maybe the crux of the issue is that ...

Surma could have done so, but didn't, in time.
But when lag occured also in Lui- Surma game, he had full right to cancel his previous consent and he did.
That was not 'in time'.

I played a championship final game. In game 1 my opponent ending up taking back a move after an embarrassing ...

All you says, can be boiled down to "Surma was obliged to report lag, did not - so paid consequences". Actually he was not , so all your argumenation, although logically correct step by step (well, one point is wrong, lack of report by Surma does not means acceptation, exactly same as lack of ...
