*shush8 Abys-san, and let me enjoy my eager happiness

This line of perl scored 114 points (about EGF 9kyu) on that test.

I guess you just have to play random moves to reach European single digit kyu. I wonder what the fuzz about playing games and doing tsumego is all about.

On KGS at least I know how to find your sgf files

Here are some comments on your (unfinished) game, just to give some ideas.

====================================
I'm prepping for finals now, but by next week, I should have a lot more time to be brutally murdered on KGS.Wbaduk and IGS.

Still having trouble with SGF stuff (*sigh*)

Hi TheCatLver,

1. On KGS, click the menu item: User > Edit Personal Information
This opens a window on your personal info: 2. Click the Games tab to see all your games.
3. Right-click on a particular game to open it, or save it to your computer, etc.4. After you have obtained your SGF, you can post it here.

Please feel free to ask more questions.

well, here's what it looks like when I tried to save...there is no save....and I can't visit in archive or load in anything *cry*

Hi TheCatLver,

You're using the current browser version. To save, you have to use the stand-alone, installed version.

(Hopefully, in the future, the new browser version will support save.)

It says I have security blocking the download, still figuring out how to un-block it.

All of your games are online here:

http://www.gokgs.com/gameArchives.jsp?user=thecatlver

just click the "yes" under "viewable?".

Or alternatively you can right click on the yes, and then click "copy link location", and you'll get a url like this:

If you then put sgf tags around it you'll get:

Yessss!!!!!I did it!

well, at least with KGS, not sure about IGS though....hmmmm, and that's the only "portable" one.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YO

In that game, there are really few stones on the third line and below, by move 50, only 2 stones for white and one for black...

So after a few days, I finally figured out about 89% of how KGS work. Which is neat. I've also realized that it's really hard to get a game since no one care about a 23k(ranked, yay, but weak, mehh). Even that stupid 20k weakbot doesn't want to play me, *haiz*

So I guess it' back to the book for me for now, I'll surface again when I climb into what is seemingly minimum requirement to play human wall of "teens kyu" (aka 19k+) and such.

=======================================================================================================

I played several games since the last time I posted, all bots. Since, as mentioned aboved, no dignify human would ever bother with 20's ranked low-life. And now even the bots don't want to play me......

Wow, I'm hitting a slump already and I haven't even play for that long yet.

Depending on the rank range it can take quite some time to find games, maybe widening that a bit will help you getting opponents through automatch a lot faster.

Why not forget about ratings right now and just say that you are a beginner and ask if someone will play you a teaching game? (Which would be unrated, OC.) It should not be too hard to get takers. After all, everybody was a beginner at one time.
