Life In 19x19

I am tired of regular players suddenly leaving my games when they are losing. So, to rectify that I will pay for regular rated kyu players to play me on KGS. I will uses PAYPAL or send a check AFTER the completed game.

I have found that just because I have a '?' next to my name any time a regularly ranked player is losing to me he disconnects. Do I haver any recourse for these games. It really seems unfair. It has reached a point where I will pay people to play me. Anyone interested let me know.

Hi Imabuddha:

I have to say that if I bought the set that you pointed out I would expect Mr. Kuroki to personally delivver it to my house and bring Cho Chikun over to play with me for a couple of days. After that he could remain in my house because it would have been given to him in order to pay ...

Hi:
I aam looking for a traditional Goban with legs for around $500 USD. Please let me know if you have anything you want to sell. I have loooked at the major retailers and I am not impressed. Most of them seem to be part time businessses who have turned their hobby into a business. I would ...

Hi:

Can I still get in to the tournament? I didn't know about it until today. I hope these draws aren't final and you have room for one more player.

Thanks

I too have read all three books in the series. It is nice to read a book by someone who has a sense of humor and an ability to write as well as teach Go.
