[Kirby]

Hey, EdLee. Feel free to keep posting photos of whatever you see at congress, particularly if they're of members of the forum here. It's very interesting to me.

I've got sgf of top boards from last night's PairGo, broadcast on IGS. But I need to clean them up and put the names in correctly -- we had inexperienced IGS users doing the broadcasting.

You can find more photos on Ke Lu's facebook page

I need to clean them up

MultiGo no go on Mac

this works much better for me

As many as can, gather in front of the EJ Staff room in Santa Rosa Thursday after lunch and before the afternoon events for a quick meet 'n greet

I don't know if anyone showed or not, because I was still recording board 1 until about 2:30

anyone interested can try again for tomorrow

Broadcasting on IGS is funny. Actually how do you do it? They have a demo game option or something?

And here it is! This game is definitely worth some commentary. I should add that it was fueled by fermented grape juice and some hoppy beverages. I notice Yang Yilun walking around early in the game, and I fear that we drove him away.

White: Koosh (1d) Judicata (AGA 4k/KGS 3k)
Black: Tofu (4k) and Clack (4k)
Handicap: 2

Special note: After white 179, we switched colors and black won by resignation (I deeply regret not recording the rest). Most importantly, we all had an unbelievably great time.

move 132 @F19 kill

White should have played F18 instead of H19

I managed to stop by and meet everyone at the table here. (probably just before the photo was taken)

Its so hard to meetup with everyone when I'm locked away in the strong players room recording games all day
But I'm having so much fun... and I hope everyone is enjoying the broadcasts

Yes - that was my fault. Koosh saw it, but left it alone. Tofu actually fixed it when they took white after the sgf. I was just happy i saw S19 given the state i was in.
