...but if she is interested in you she will play or help when you ask her to. ...

Yes, but relationships are a two way street. It's important to see things from the other person's perspective. From a go player's perspective, you may think like that: "If she's interested in me, she should ...

Another tactic is to ask her to help you replay a pro game. I've tried that before and it worked - we went through a few games, her playing white and me playing black and we would comment on moves, overall play and shape, etc.

Does she play? No. Does she seem terribly interested? Not really. But ...

Is it still a little premature to post a FFW? I sent Kiethlard a message once we were paired up and I have not heard back from him. However, I am leaving out-of-town tonight, so I won't be able to play tomorrow.

how long it will take for non-oriental player to win a world tournament?
i think not for next 50 years.
then again, i didnt think there will be black president in US for next 100 years and i was wrong.

My (soon to be) wife and I will be moving to Korea in November. Maybe we'll have a kid or two ...

Give Keith 0 points, I agree. But what about Maere - .5, or 1?

I believe they play the second game between the 16th and 17th of September.

The schedule looks like this:
1. 09/01 - 09/02 (Yuta won by 6.5)
2. 09/16 - 09/17
3. 09/22 - 09/23
4. 10/06 - 10/07
5. 10/13 - 10/14
6. 10/28 - 10/29
7. 11/04 - 11/05

SinK and I will be playing our Round 1 match this Saturday (4th) at 14:00 UTC.

Side note - Now I realize what a challenge it can be to schedule matches when you can have 6+ hours of time difference.

Aye, Stefany and I were 8 hours apart. Thankfully we were able to make it work with me being up ...

Stefany93 and I ended up 1-1, so please chalk us both up for .5 points.

Here is the first match:


And here is the second:

So does this officially start on Wednesday? And with that in mind, we have until each Wednesday to complete our matches?

Also, I am confused on the tie-breaker rule. Is that per match, or at the end, for placement? What I mean is, if I get lucky and tie my first opponent, 1 game to 1, do we play ...

I will play regardless of the format. Unfortunately the initial format is what I would NOT like to play, as I don't have a lot of free time. I would prefer the round-robin or swiss-style format, but any works fine for me.

So please put me on the list!
