Life In 19x19

I want to start a roll playing game dedicated to Go. It is 1786 and this scenario will include the shogunate, the current Meijin, the heads and hires of the strongest Go houses and lots of other characters.

Premise:
The year is 1786 and Meijin Satsugen is dying. The competition for the next spot ...

If you quote somebody, won't you be able to read thier hiden comments?

I think we both read the question wrong. I (and probably you too) interpreted the question as; Flip a coin 3 times, which sequence is more likely: HHT or HTH. They are obviously the same with each being 1/8. This is because each coin flip is a separate event and the result is not ...

Please explain.

I am aware that we are curently playing a malkowich game! When you first started talking about shodan in a year I was concerned but not scared, now I am! My goal was 5k within a year wich I missed by 1.5 stones (ok, theoretically I still have 5 days) I'm currently stuck at the 7k/6k borderline ...

I also really like blacks last play. IMO no sdk would ever play it. It's been repeatedly been beaten into me by stronger players that you should never play this move, so this has to be either a ddk mistake or a dan level tesuji.
Either way, I'm interested how both players handle this stone.

You know that a pro could start a fight and completely destroy you, but what amazes me is how much of the difference they can make up even when playing peacefully and explicitly avoiding complications.
That doesn't suprise me. Any stronger player can do that. What suprises me is that they actually ...

Some brainstorming

I think by ‘100 games’ the proverb does not mean 100 19x19 games (which can take up to an hour with normal play). As a beginner I would suggest 13x13 (roughly 20 min) or even 9x9 (roughly 5 min) This way you can get to the magical number of 100 games a lot quicker and I believe that 100 9x9 games ...

Now that my game with emerus is over I open for another 1v1 Malkovich game. I'm currently 7k on KGS.

I'm willing to play any kyu, even if our ranks are close enough or with handicap. If we are going to play with handicap I really prefer the komi handicap version. I feel like I learned a lot in my ...

@robinz
Please count before you resign
@observers
I really don't know what robinz deal is. I counted a few moves ago (after the upper right was settled and white managed to save his group) an it was pretty much dead even (within komi, which is dead even at our level) And that was ...
