Re: Lizzie 0.7

Are there tickets related to cleaning the code? That's the sort of thing I enjoy actually, but I don't want to go at it willy-nilly if you have something specific in mind.

Re: Zero Problem (a freeware)

Cool idea! Is the left column your move, and the right column the AI's suggestion?

Re: 9th Qionglong Cup

Goratings gives Hei Jiajia (3082) only about 1 in 6 odds to beat Choi Jeong (3359).
Oh Yujin (3249) gets about 3 in 5 to beat Oh Jeonga (3187).
It looks the tournament is Choi Jeong's to win.

Re: Random Ramblings

Couldn't the amount of time each player has left be a rough score-chart for go? The less time you've used, the more likely it is that you're winning. If only online go servers developed a way to accurately show the time left for each player in professional relays...

I think in general if players ...

Re: Park Junghwan is The Best

I haven't been following all the new corner strategies, is that sequence in the upper-left new? looks so strange.

Re: how to stop being tired

I set an alarm for 21:00 every evening. That's my cutoff for screen time, and a signal to start my evening routine.
I don't always follow it, but I do think it really helps. It's unrealistic to think you can go directly from watching bright and rapidly-shifting LEDs to sleep. If you can stand it ...
