Life In 19x19

I also love these kinds of books and find them crazy useful. Is there anywhere to buy printed books? Online is fine for a bit, but I really (REALLY) prefer printed books for intensive study. I get fewer headaches and can study for longer. Plus the battery life on print books is SO much better!

I took the original question to mean... The tone of voice was unclear to me. I could not tell whether it was rhetorical, a joke, sarcasm, or a genuine search for information.

No sarcasm or rhetoric. I really don't know. PM's or discussion or a new thread or whatever, I'd just like to know! the ...

I wouldn't. That level of play gets closer and closer to needing to be a creative AI. That tech has been 10 years away for 30 years now.

Sorry! It was more about precision vs simplicity but some how cooking became the analogy we were using. My bad for making you hungry. Maybe we need a cooking thread in the off topics :p

5 stones from pro (which is what? Shodan? 3d? What changes d to p? Money and a org?) still seems like a long way ...

It is a precision technique.

I don't think it is all that precise, because it depends so much on the ingredients at hand, and there are no recipes that describe precise timings, probably because they would be in seconds. I don't know how many times I have heard this, but "Chinese cook by taste ...

Hmmm... That all very interesting, although I wish there was more information... Oldest written reference is nice, but what was written would be nicer. "Zhang misread a ko threat" is more interesting than "...we played go and then went to sleep. It rained the next day..." I wonder about kifu. What ...

I thought you must have had a terrible experience with cooking to think this way. Leaving eggs out of cookies... There are the rare recipes that do not contain eggs. Generally for allergies sufferers. But to suggest cooking cookies in the bowl is simply absurd and, frankly, I don't believe it. I ...

Also, I probably will start to modify "the oldest game in the world played in its original form" to "the oldest game in the world that we know the rules of".

Do we know that? I'm not a huge history researcher, but while I do know that the history of Go is very long... Do we actually know that we ...

Banzai! Banzai! Banzai!!! Thank you so much for this!

That straws and breathing analogy is how I learned about liberties. It's a good one.

I hope this works... My dining room table got drafted to be my go area. We never eat there anyway, so that's all get used for.

I'll help with that. I can and will talk about this for as long as anybody wants. This is a personal and professional passion for me after all!
New article today from the USGS.

but I'm not sure what else to do other than read just about every sequence in some order, and I find that taxing and dull.

Maybe then the quarrel is not with Tsumego, but the way you are going about learning them. Perhaps a change of process? How exactly do you go about the process of solving ...

@gogameguru and @theaga and now this Finnish 9p

Me to! I love tsumego! I have exactly 0 confidence in a live game. Tsumego are fun. A perfect way to play without dragging in others...
