I like to play slow games. I have no local club, so all my play is on KGS, but most games are pretty fast.

What I especially like to do is play on my board, while I play on KGS. This takes more time, and prods me to think much longer; looking at a board somehow means I think differently to. Also, it's the only chance I have to use my nice board and stones. :-)

I've got a couple of friends with whom I play slow games like this from time to time, but I'd like to find others who might be interested. I'm in France, and would want to play on Saturday or Sunday afternoon, and would like times of, say, 45 min. I also don't want to play handicap games. So, if anyone who's 3-5 K on KGS is interested, drop me a line.

ASR league games are 25-45 per side, plus generally a review after. All games are even. Everyone I've met so far has been very nice.

I'd enjoy playing with you, Kirk, though I've had a lot of difficulty scheduling lately. If you happen to see me on, feel free to ask me. Otherwise, we can try to plan a time and date to play, but it might be a while off.

Edit: As an alternative, do you play on OGS?

Ideally, this is something that needs to be planned in advance, so we can be sure we both have enough time. PM me if you have any ideas; it doesn't matter if it's not in the next few weeks, I'm looking for occasional slow games for the future.

No, I don't play on OGS.
