Weiqi collection to give for a association ((not a business)

Hi all,

I own a Weiqi-go collection of books mostly in Chinese like around 300 books.

My situation is quite precarious by now, so I would be happy if that collection could go to some federation or any association dedicated to promote/develop the game.

I can't cover the expenses of sending them (I ...

Re: playing a very basic game

Wonderful advices. Could even apply for Dan players! Not saying these would be enough per se.
Just saying that they seems hard objectives for 18k. But easy to understand for sure.

Calculating 3 moves ahead is pretty hard. Keeping the most liberties is at the same level as other fundamentals, like ...

Re: influence concensus map

A wall has different value of influence according to his own life status. A wall with eyes, or an extension or a ponnuki to take some examples are much more influent as a simple line of stones.
That's so fundamental that I don't see how to modulate a punctual influence value without implying much ...

Re: Making a white maple goban

I played many games in real life, can't estimate it. I played on many kind of boards usually on the normal size but may have been some in bad state, some grey plastic...

I can say I was NEVER distracted by how the board is. For sure.
So for me you can just focus on having a nice looking and ...

Re: Yikeweiqi is coming

So I tried again today, got again the message "player not registered yet" in English (I did click on the middle of the screen, not at the bottom blue) and I am again under review as expected...
I gave same name and level each time. That's all what they asked me.
Edit:

I got that message now in ...

Re: Making a white maple goban

Is there some way to protect from the darkening? I guess applying some onguent maybe although I doubt it works as long as you need to play with light?

And what about Sequoia? Seems to be easier to make a full thick with a nice cut. Is it too rare, or too dark?

Re: influence concensus map

Tomorrow we will advise to not read that kind of book unless you have a good understanding on how AI play go. The reverse as what we advised yesterday.

Some stronger players did already advise me on this in my teachings...

Re: Yikeweiqi is coming

Same username as here

To be "universal" it would be great to translate the pop ups, especially the one asking me an answer.
I don't get the under review pop up anymore thanks,but when clicking on the "ready to play" tab one in chinese pops up with a choice to do. What choice? I am afraid to use ...

Re: Yikeweiqi is coming

One day later I still didn't play one game, I am a bit disappointed.

Many pop up are still in Chinese it's still far away to be universal.


I did give more info in my profile as what other players do (I can watch games) but each time I try to play I get that "still under review pop up.

Any help?
