Accessing igokisen.

For about two weeks now I have been trying to access the new igokisen web site to no avail,

I ran a traceroute with the following results:

Re: Test of images.

Ok. But is there a site where I can post my images semi-permanently for free?

This is just a test. ( ps an admin may want to make a topic with a sticky explaining how to post an image.)

If anyone sees a problem with posting a lot of images like this in a thread let me know.

Re: Google Wave

Wave may be shutting down but they are realeasing an application that lets you run a wave server.
Would be nice to add that feature directly.

Re: Speaking of funny book covers...

I would post my idea of the funniest go cover, but I suspect the image would be removed.
A description would probably be removed as obscene.

I'm curious, how do they react in the French room if someone comes in typing kana/

Re: Prokovich game

This, IMHO, is what white fears most.


Your argument is impeccable except for one thing. One could argue the same thing about B Q6 indicating that R14 is the way to go.The fact is if B plays D6 then W will play either C7,B7,C8 or C14.
W doesn't care about B surrounding C3 because you expect to ...

Re: Prokovich game

Approaching 1 is virtually miai and therefore not urgent or big.

D17 is possible and entirely consistent with the heavily territorial approach.

Splitting at someplace like J17 allows for a sequence like: W J17 G17 N17 gives B a perfect extension from his UL.

I would play G17.

Re: KGS is cool because...


Also I dislike Wbaduk's counterintuitive GUI. Besides, the betting stuff, the annoying noise, these stupid avatars, that's nothing to play serious games there. KGS' GUI has everything you ever need, in a tidy, neutral and comfortable environment, no unnecessary gimmicks.
I have to admit I like ...

i discriminate against people who have pure blood and if they dont speak a word of korean. i consider them a GARBAGE ...

Re: KGS Player -----> Wbaduk

Keep in mind that on WBaduk there are a lot of low ranked players who are actually very strong sandbaggers. Why sandbag, I don't know.

I prefer Mr. Norimoto's fan. Looks like it goes well with a kimono.

Re: 67. Loons (3k) vs. Shaddy(1d)

:shock:
White's move is appalling. I barely feel that this should go in hide tags, everyone already knows

This is definitely a case of outsmarting oneself. White must remember that even if black will push and cut, and even if white will have to deal with some damaged groups, *black needs to be ...
