Re: KGS Meijin
I joined just because I love tournaments, I doubt there will be a lot of time for reviews.

The review doesn't have to happen during the tournament days. It could be any time.
Slava Ukraini!

Re: KGS Meijin
I try to review games posted here on L19 by players < 5k or so if I have a few minutes and see that there aren't other reviews posted yet. I think I'm not the only person using a similar rule. Serious games with a stronger player are often good ones to review!
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be.

Re: KGS Meijin
OK, so then I created a chart just to visualize the distribution of player strengths … and then 
I almost sh!t in my pants and thought of quitting … but no, I’ll play and give my best and hope to lose to a human, if I lose, and not to some computer.

Re: KGS Meijin
Well, it went pretty well I think! Yes lots of lopsided games early on but that was expected. We ended up with two strong players as the qualifiers.
Also, I discussed Stalkor's comments with sweety, and in some ways it makes things simpler. We agreed that there will be 10 qualifiers instead of 11. We'll aim to get about 16 contenders, then have a set of semifinals in November, winnowing down to 4. Then have them play one final tournament in December. We're still having the finals in December, which can be hard, but with so few people I'm hoping we'll be able to arrange the final games so that they can all play. With 16-ish, it would be a nightmare to work around the time zones and hand schedule everything.
It looks like next month we'll have a single elimination, with just one winning person getting entrance to the semifinals. This tournament will also be limited to dan players only so we can arrive at the one contender more quickly. We will have another open qualifier later in the year, so if you missed this one and want to try later, don't worry!
