The new OGS - empty?

The new OGS looks pretty nice, and presumably all the players from OGS have been migrated over so it should be pretty full...but when I click 'Browse open Challenges' I see somewhere between zero and two games. I've tried several times over the past few days.

Is the server pretty empty, or am I ...

Re: PSA about the Surrounding Game documentary

Another documentary on a nerdy topic was recently released: It is called I Dream of Wires and is about modular synthesizers.

They released a 'Hardcore Edition' for the real fans, 4 hours long, purchased through Kickstarter I believe. Then they released a tighter cut for the more general viewer ...

This makes me wonder a bit …

As far as I can tell, about 25–50% of the forum is dedicated to Go strategy...


It helps to read the post properly. This is a thread for stragety, not strategy.

Re: Go Congress 2013

As far as alternative lodging goes, you're gonna want to try to stay in the dorms. The closest hotel to campus there is a really, really awful dive that you want to stay away from. It's littered with teenage prostitutes and smack addicts. The only other place you could stay is the 420 house on ...

Re: A Review of 38 Basic Josekis

I really like this book. I studied it quite carefully at 8kyu and I have gained a few stones since then with no other study. I'm not sure I remember any of the joseki in it, but its explanations of why certain moves are good or bad in certain situations was really eye opening, and improved my play a ...

Re: midgame joseki worth learning ?

Attack and Defense by Davies and Ishida, apart from being a fantastic book generally, has a whole chapter in which invasions into three-space extensions are treated pretty exhaustively, in joseki-book style.

I found the chapter a bit out of place myself, but it sounds like something you might be ...
