How to get strong - my 2 cents

So I am currently 3 Dan on Fox and since I am playing Go (which is now for almost 20 years, with longer breaks in between), I am trying to answer this one question for myself: What means strength in Go? And the follow-up question: How to achieve strength in Go?

For myself, I have recently ...

Re: GoUniverse (New KGS client)

Just played my first game with GoUniverse after stone sound is back and lost it on time.
I was trying to click my move, but it was just not accepting the click. Tried to click for around 5 seconds, but it would just show the shadow of my stone and not place it.
I remember that I once had this ...

Re: GoUniverse (New KGS client)

Thank you very much!! :bow: :tmbup:

Works nicely for playing games. :black: :white:

Is it by design, that I do not get stone sound when I watch games, only when I play games myself?

Are there some technical problems with repairing it?
And also: am I the only one really missing it?

Re: GoUniverse (New KGS client)

Is the GoUniverse extension for Chrome (Windows) still maintained?

I like it a lot, but I do not get any stone sound (although 'Sound' is ticked in the settings). There is sound (the bell ring) when I accept a game invitation, but not for stones ... :-(

Connection to Fox server unstable -> using Proxy

Sometimes I get popups during a game I play about the connection quality and if the popups appear repeatedly, the connection is ultimately closed completely. I then tried the Fox website (https://www.foxwq.com/soft/foreign.html) and it was also unavailable. Maybe a problem with internet access to ...

Re: Having fun

I can fully relate to your post and also enjoy the fact that I am not taking losses that serious anymore, but instead can see them for what they really are:
Part of the game - you are expected to lose around 50% of your games. Expecting anything else would just be stupid, and yet often we still do ...

Re: Slow Games server???

I also have no problems getting 20 min (5 * 30 sec) games on KGS. Just read some news on the web while waiting for an opponent - normally doesn't take more than a few minutes.

Re: Overcome the wall or give up

These days there are many people on twitch who stream their Go games. If you find watching the games of BattsGo or others entertaining, it can be a way of being in contact with the game in a quite relaxed way, for times when you do not feel like playing a game yourself. While watching, you will ...

Re: Fox Go Server

I also have problems getting the iPad app to work. When I tap the green button in the middle, there will be a popup with a QR code. I do not see where I can enter my logon information.

Re: How to make KGS better?

I just spent way too much time trying to shrink my new avatar image down from 14K to the allowed 7K. Relaxing the size restriction to 15K would make life easier for users, I think.

Re: Interesting interview with Gabriel Benmergui (ConanBatt)

As a go software developer, this interview is extremely inspiring !

I love the way he talks freely about what went wrong
and how it could have been avoided.

Hats off for that.
I am feeling the same way about the interview. These were exciting times, watching the guys trying to create something ...

Searching for YouTube link Ryan Li vs. Oscar Vazquez

Hi, currently watching a recent twitch recording of Oscar Vazquez where he mentions that Ryan Li uploaded his game against Oscar to his YouTube channel.
I can’t find it - does anyone have a link to that?
