Life In 19x19

If it helps, it is very easy to buy porcelain stones in China. They are also very cheap, like maybe around 2-5$ a set. I have never found any on the internet though.

As a side note, porcelain stones are pretty fragile, I've broken a few (2 or 3) just by playing with them. But as a group, when I ...

Well these stones are kind of old. I got them five years ago. But I don't think any of my stones have been out in the sun for very long if at all.

I am not even sure what causes the green rings in the first place.

Hi everyone,

I was playing with my yunzi today, and one of the black ones felt lighter and thinner than the others, which I thought was very strange. At first I thought I might have mixed it up with one of the Korean black glass stones, so I held it up to the light to see if it had the green ring ...

I was taught to peep and then g18.

I think that YMI gets this stuff from China, and this type of set is a very common cheap set in China, so I think that it should work. I bought a board that looks very similar when I was in China, and I use it with the jade luster Yunzi ( http://www.ymimports.com/p-1487-jade-luster-yunzi ...

I've heard of this happening once in a professional tournament in Japan. One of the recorders had to run to get more stones from a different room; apparently, you can still lose by time, and both players were in byo yomi.

This was like long before I was born though; I heard it from my teacher.

At ...

I found this game very interesting.

Here's some comments:

Move 8: I found this kinda funny, he didn't play Q18 because he didn't think you would reply. So does that mean he thought you would reply to L17?

Moves 19 and 21: This gives me the impression that you are winning by a lot. I think you ...

My teacher taught me a way to count for blitz games. It is accurate by about plus or minus 10 points, which is a lot, but the counting time can be less than a minute. It is really quite simple, you make a rectangle that fits the area you are trying to count and multiply to find the area of it ...

You can feel the difference between 8.5 mm and 9.2 mm, but the difference between 8.5 and 8.8 is really very small. I doubt anyone would be able to distinguish between them just from playing with them.

Why not just get a random pro game that you know ends within 5 or so points and count that? You can count it at the end position to start, and slowly take some moves off and estimate. As a bonus, you also get to learn good endgame moves.

Hi, I'm from the Salt Lake Go Club, and I didn't hear about this. I'd be happy to help if I could.

We are still here, but the guy who used to take care of all the club stuff moved, and we were in transition for a while.
