Most people have their go rank in their profile, showing in the panel on the left of their post. I guess that's sufficient?

BTW, are "real" or KGS ranks used for determining the starting round? (I have two accounts on KGS, one for fast games and one for normal speed. The first one is currently 8k, the second is 7k. IRL my rank is 8k)

It sounded like these will be even games, so it probably doesn't really matter that much :)
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be.

I guess I missed that thread


It wasn't a public L19 thread

On the rate occasion when I can find a lot of spare time in one block I usually have to limit the clock to 1/5 or faster.


Interestingly, the initial proposal was for 5 hour time limits, so things are still faster than initially put forward.

You'll be entered at whatever you want to be really. Pick what seems to fit how you think you'll play in 40 minute-ish time controls on KGS.

Count me in (maybe we should create some kind of online-registration for this ?)
I'm around 1d on KGS, MESZ (UTC +2)
Hopefully there'll be a solution regarding the scheduling problem with US - EU (any experiences?).

Looking forward to Arabans videoreviews ^_^
