READABLE Hidden Section:
Oh, a rules question: Since Malkovich rules are in effect, I assume that I can read no hidden comments unless I'm told I can. However, it seems to me like it would not be a problem if the higher-ranked players were allowed to read us grunts' hide tags. Since we won't be thinking of things deeper than ya'all, there might be no harm in it, and it would let you all better tailer your posts to what we've already said. Up to Joaz, was just curious about this.

An observation: if I'm a stone or two stronger than Terr, fewer points will need to be spent fixing my mistakes than his. Is this "in the nature of the game" or should there be some sort of a handicap, eg. negative komi or higher expense for my side's big brother changes?

In summary, yes, players can read down, not up. But Shapenaji is a stone or two stronger than Violence. Topazg and I are approximately the same strength. In other words, black is slightly stronger at the bottom, we are equal in the middle, and white is slightly stronger at the top. I think that it sort of balances. In theory, we should end up paying a few more stones but making slightly better moves overall, being slightly ahead on the board but a little behind in prisoners. ( As usual, this theory probably will not survive its first encounter with reality intact. We'll all learn something... ) Last edited by Joaz Banbeck; 2010-03-30 at 12:53 PM. |

So far, I think black is ahead.
Magicwand - Does that mean a 4-4 is 9 points??? 3 points better than 3-4??
