It is my turn. At last I think it is. Regardless, I'm going to move next.
I just need some time to think about it.

Re: #231 drmwc vs Joaz Banbeck
I read a while ago (maybe in a Kageyama book? Or maybe the Treasure Chest Enigma?) that if your opponent spends 1 hour on a move, you should spend 2 hours on the response.
I moved in November 2017; and the reply was May 2019. So I think that give me 3 years for the next move, or a May 2022 target.

I am put in mind of a story about Emmanuel Lasker by a British player who played against him in a tournament after Lasker was no longer world champion. The player wanted to sacrifice a knight against Lasker, and because it was Lasker, he checked his reading more than once to make sure that the sacrifice was sound. To his surprise, Lasker replied almost immediately, and declined the sacrifice. After the game he asked Lasker how he had figured out his move so quickly. Lasker replied, "If a strong master thinks for a half hour and then offers me a knight, I think I should not take it."
Also, if my opponent thinks for one hour on a move, someone should wake me up.

Sure. No problem. I wouldn't want you to feel rushed.

This bit of advice regarding doubling the time your opponent takes is quoted in a story told by Nakayama in Gokyou Monogatari. A translated version appeared in issue number 50 of "Go World". It involved episodes of contests of endurance during the tournament for qualification for pro shodan in around 1932. In those days no clocks were used in the qualification tournament. Nakayama described two cases. One involved the late Hoshino Toshi whose opponent took eight hours to make a move and Hoshino, quoted his teacher regarding doubling the time, and took 16 hours to make a pretty obvious move. The game continued in this fashion, as did the next two games and Hoshino played for six days without sleep. The other case involved Nakayama's teacher, Suzuki Goro, and Sakata.

I think it's time to admit that both players have lost on time.

Re: #231 drmwc vs Joaz Banbeck
I just noticed in another thread, ( forum/viewtopic.php?p=246881#p246881 ) a more relaxed byo-yomi was used. That seems to set a precedent. So the proper term should be ten years.Joaz Banbeck wrote:...

Sorry to have rushed you.

Re: #231 drmwc vs Joaz Banbeck
If you guys wait long enough, some of the stones might decay, and you’ll have a different board position to deal with.

Re: #231 drmwc vs Joaz Banbeck
2021 was a bad year, so nobody can hold it against you if you didn't make a move then.
Insisting on the exact month would be crass. Shall we say sometime in 2022?drmwc wrote:... a May 2022 target.

That's a nice idea of go variant. Let's call it "decay-go": stones disappear after a fixed period, say 10 years. Or maybe "radioactive-go": stones have a half life of 10 years. The player who is behind can then try to complicate the game and force his opponent to think for a few decades, so that the board returns to the empty state.
