European Professional Online Go League starts soon

[Liso]

Yesterday was exciting day. Artem lost his game against China's Yu Shao (https://eurogofed.org/1st-china-europe- ... sults.html Europe lost 10:2) in midday and then also lost first game against Ali.

In second game Ali lost by time caused by long lag. It looks very pity because game was really exciting in that moment. But Artem showed big generosity game was recreated and big fight continued.

This is the moment when Ali suffered lag:



They started with sudden death byoyomi period on both sides.

Another curious moment happened in moves 141 and 142 (moves are counted after re-creation of game). The double blunder.

Artem won second game. But thanks to first win Ali didn't lost his chance to play playoff.

In second game Ali lost by time caused by long lag.

Not that it's any of my business, but we have been here before. Netlag should not be a problem.

For some reason, the official result and the count at OGS differ by two points.

If anyone wants, both... instances? of the second game are at

First half: https://online-go.com/game/23057960
Second: https://online-go.com/game/23056456

Regarding lag: yes, this should find some sort of stable resolution. However, there were no auditors in this game, it was a friendly game (I'm not even sure it counts for promotion points... but last year's transatlantic didn't, either, I believe) and, also, right now Europe's network is kinda strained. Streaming services have had to cut down on quality, for example.

Take care.

Apparently this is a bug that has existed in OGS since 2017.

Seeing as fixing this bug doesn't involve playing with a new JavaScript library, don't get your hopes up

Sorry about the mistake from the previous weekend and my lack of coherent style right now between all three posts. If it bothers anyone, whistle and I'll change it later this week.

Take care.

Summary:

We have 3x2 games left in the League: Ilya Shikshin vs. Andrii Kravets, Artem Kachanovskyi vs. Pavol Lisy and Ali Jabarin vs. Tanguy LeCalvé. Then, there will be a match (I understand it should also be a 2-game match) between 2nd and 3rd and a final (match? game?) between the winner of that and the winner of the League.

Points so far are:

Ilya Shikshin 5
Artem Kachanovskyi 5
Pavol Lisy 7
Ali Jabarin 2
Andrii Kravets 4
Tanguy LeCalvé 1

Everyone has the same number of games. How-ever... Jabarin & LeCalvé can't be in the semi-final, already. And Lisy is almost guaranteed to be the champion of the League itself. I'll let someone else delve into the possibilities and probabilities of the challengers. SOS and all that.

Take care.

Hello timeout my old friend...



I move timeout should be made a European Honorary Honinbo. Remeber that this way of splitting games does not carry captures properly. Final result of the last game is B+7.5.

Take care.
