Re: Pro Go/Baduk/Weiqi podcast with gazza and xiaodai

Hmm, odd. I couldn't find anything on Pocketcasts which usually has everything on mainstream platforms. I'll try looking harder.

Re: Pro Go/Baduk/Weiqi podcast with gazza and xiaodai

Is there any chance of you having a podcast feed for podcasting apps? I'd like to follow this podcast, but youtube isn't a good platform for me as I mainly listen to podcasts while commuting.

Re: NEW GO BOOK 2018

Received my copy today. Print quality is pretty poor/inconsistent, with many diagrams being somewhat faded and others (on the same page) being much clearer. It's definitely still readable nonetheless, so given the price, I can't complain much!

Re: Documentary “The Surrounding Game” Now Available Worldwi

While the film is interesting for some go players, IMO it is uninteresting for non-players.

That is not my experience at all. I was at the world premiere showing at a film festival, and the audience members were largely non-Go players and they found the film very interesting, as evidenced by the ...

[*] To end the day with a positive feeling, if possible disconnect from the server after a win. Don't try to finish the day with more wins than losses.

As the flip-side of this, don't keep chasing a win if you lose. You may very well go on tilt and make things worse. I generally will force ...

Re: [Malkovich Chess] Kirby vs Krill

It was nice to be able to read through the comments. I totally missed the early check threat W had with the bishop when I took the first pawn. Only one comment puzzled me:

Wrong again!

Bill, would you mind explaining what I was wrong about? I might be able to figure out why I was wrong if I knew ...

Either this is some brilliant Queen sac, or he just overlooked that I could capture, or this is one final charge because he feels he has lost the game and is just doing what he can to put pressure on me.

@Mitsun:

I'm not entirely sure what the rules/etiquette of Malkovich threads are, but as the black player I would at least appreciate it if you spoiler tagged any move suggestions for black (I want to avoid seeing suggestions that could influence my thinking). Thanks!

I'm not sure what's going on here. The Queen can't stay there, thanks to this knight move. The Queen can't do any damage by attacking my castled king (without getting captured). Her position would be helpful if he could pull ...

Maybe I will regret this, but this capture threatens his queen, so whatever he's cooking up with the kingside pawn push is going to have to wait until he gets his Queen out of trouble.

Well, he avoided the fork! And the apparent pin of the knight is nice. But unless I'm missing some way that this puts my Queen in serious trouble, I think I'm up another pawn.

There's a lot of pressure building here on the bishop and something is about to happen. Initially, I thought this was knight move was a good move because it threatened to trade my knight for his bishop (the bishop being pinned ...
