Life In 19x19

Thanks a lot.

Yes, that part and earlier, before white is creeping into all the places I thought might become black's is what I was talking about.
What should I do if white invades what I mapped out so nicely?
Do I get you right to just close the gaps in my borders?
I get panicked and think, now I ...

Yesterday I tried the way explained in "How to post SGF" (upload, then copy link and use sgf-full].
This showed a correct preview but threw an error on submitting.
Now, trying to post the Sgf directly with sgf tag, it seems that only white's moves are displayed.
Maybe the format is not really ...

Test
Edit: I got some error message trying to submit the game's sgf.
Preview of the player works. However it seems I can't submit the post.
Will post the sgf as soon as I get it working.

Hi,
as far as I can generalize from playing on 13x13 and 19x19, I have learned a bit about openings in a way that 'looks' as if it has potential, but then I fail to turn this into territory. Yesterday I played the BadukAI app, set to 30 kyu, and it started with random looking moves in the middle of ...

'Dabble' seems an appropriate word
Thank you

So it saves the sgf during the game, or must I do that from time to time?

Otherwise it sound just like what I need.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I'm encountering a stupid user problem and I hope you can help.
I'm using the Android app BadukAI, which is quite similar to a great Android frontend of katrain (I hope I'm not offending anyone).
I like it a lot, but I keep messing up my games (against AI) by accidentally touching that timeline ...

In case anyone wants to read a followup, I'm still busy with Go.
I'm not playing as much as I 'should' because I don't like to lose, and I always do. It seems to be some ego thing.
But I've found a few 'real' people I can play and so far losing to them is not that bad. I'd still like to be able to ...

That is spend time playing instead of talking about playing, thinking about playing, browsing Go books and making your own Go board. Later you can tell us what motivated you :D

Yes, that's good advice since it's tempting for me to get lost in reading motivating things and forgetting to start.
The ...

Hello again,

after giving Go a try in 2019 and giving up, I'm back again.
Unfortunately I tend to give up on things if they don't come easy to me. When I realized that Go would mean serious study for me, I thought I might spend some time on it later. Like, very much later - when I retire or such ...

Bill, just so I know we are talking about the same thing:

Do you mean the Capture Go game "whoever captures the other one first wins" (so, maybe b and w start with one stone each shoulder by shoulder and try capturing each other's stone before being captured themselves - so the board size does not ...

OK, I see.
So, either this tsumego is more advanced than the ones before and after it, so I misunderstood what it wanted me to do
(I came back to it several times before posting here, because I was able to pass those after that one by making two eyes)
or it may be consider "wrong" (in the sense that ...

Thank you for all your answers.

I think Ed gets closest to my question: I see black can only kill himself there. But how can black make two eyes (can he)?

On Tsumego Hero, this is from the most, most, first, easiest beginners easy life collection. Make two eyes, live.

For all the other "easy life ...
