Life In 19x19

kgs has several attributes that i like.
near any board size, several time control options,
you create the game and wait for someone interested ,
teaching mode, lessons by pros, rengo,
i cant think of much that kgs lacks.


Maybe my app should focus more on learning rather than playing? I was ...

Next to playing Go I also love programming, which is why I want to start developing the Ultimate Go app. In order to do that I need some inspiration on features that people are looking for that current Go-apps do not offer. I'm planning on using Django (DRF) for my back-end and React for my front ...

Sorry to bump an old thread, but i'm looking for these books. The places referred to in this thread are no longer active. Does anyone know where I can get them?

I really need to get better at fighting, most of my games I win because of a "strong" opening". Does anyone have some tips for me?

Beside frequent and numerous tsumego and tesuji problems, my advice would be to try to make your games as messy and complicated as possible. I've yet to master the ...

I was skeptical when you said you win games by playing a good opening, but then when I saw this game, I must admit you do have a good opening and you indeed take a decisive advantage there.

I find you have a good direction of play: you know where the territories are, where to attack for profit ...

It's been exactly a year since I started my journey and what year it has been!

Sum of the highlights:

- Joined the Yunguseng league
- Visited the European Go congress (sadly had to quit after one day because of illness)
- Played in the Amsterdam Go Tournament
- Went to Yunguseng spring camp.

I ...

Great to hear you are doing good! Maybe someday you will find the inspiration again to play Go again (the Ian Butler way , and we can play a game again. And if not, i wish you all the best.

You outplayed the opponent in the opening. I added a few notes about it.

The highlight of the game is the fight in the middle arising from the invasion of your moyo, between 57 and 64, where I'm offering some thoughts, fueled by LZ analysis.



Thanks for the extensive review. Very interesting to ...

One stone at a time

Over the past few days I've focused on getting better at shapes by watching Dsaun's shape lecture and reading the book 'Shape up' by Charles Matthews and Seong-June Kim. With my increased knowledge on shape making I've start to look back at some of my earlier games and found a ...

After a one week hiatus. I'm back in business. Thanks for the game review and comments! Put my play into perspective.

Taking one step back in order to move two steps up

After playing a few games feeling underwhelmed with my own play I felt that I needed to take a step back and look back at the ...

Thanks for all the feedback. My son was born yesterday so my quest was halted for a few days. Will review soon .

Yeah, i guess i'm a bit too focused on playing the moves I want, while i should respond properly..

Inspiring read!

How is your Go club coming along?

First game, First loss

And so it begins. After a relatively good start I think I messed up at move 24. It felt like I had to choose between blocking at G9 and H8. In retrospect I feel as if H8 would have a better move. After this move I never felt that I stood a chance. In regards to my earlier ...

Thanks for all the support :).


Theme of the week:
The quest for my own Go-style
Your style is like the rest of ours: amateurish. And it will remain so when you have reached your goal. I'd choose a different theme. :)
I like the way how Ian Butler phrases it. Maybe I should rephrase it a ...
