Re: Go players on the Faroe Islands?

I don't think there are Go players in the Faroes [...] but this game is more popular than many people give it credit and there could well be some Faroese Go players somewhere.
Exactly our thinking. I grew up in a town which was about the size of Tórshavn (probably even a bit smaller). When I ...

Go players on the Faroe Islands?

This might be a somewhat odd request, but my husband and I are going on a vacation to the Faroe Islands in August and we wondered if there were any Go players living there who might be interested in a game or two? Or maybe someone knows somebody who lives there? We already tried the EGD and baduk ...

Re: GoUniverse (New KGS client)

I thought to give GoUniverse a try and installed the Chrome extension, but then ... what's supposed to happen? There's no extension icon showing up at the top right and I have no way to access any new KGS interface via Chrome or going to gokgs.com. How do I even start up this client? :scratch ...

Re: Following Iyama Yuta (no world ranking discussions)

I wonder if China will send out Ke Jie next to end Iyama's roll.
It's confirmed that Mi Yuting is the upcoming opponent. And the next game is not until 21st February, so neither player will be focusing on Nongshim for a while.
Thanks for posting this! I was wondering if the order of the players ...

Re: Following Iyama Yuta (no world ranking discussions)

A true hero indeed! :bow: Looks like Shin overlooked the weakness in the lower left. I'm kinda proud I saw F5 coming, a few years ago I'd have answered meekly and missed the chance.

Remaining players now:
China : Ke Jie (9d), Mi Yuting (9d), Fan Tingyu (9d) , Li Qincheng (9d) , Li Weiqing (9d ...

Re: Following Iyama Yuta (no world ranking discussions)

Damn, I totally forgot about game 7. Could've watched it since I got a few days off.... Well... But I'm really happy he defended the title yet again. It was a great match and I really like Ichiriki, too. His time will come one day. Until then I hope Iyama will win a lot more titles. :D

Aaaaand the next pop-up shop has been announced today , open from 30 October. There'll be new merch with new drawings (did anybody else have a hard time to recognise Isumi...?

Re: 76th Honinbo Title Match - Game 4 - Shibano now 3-1 up

Last game, 2nd day is on and can be watched live on the Nihon Kiin's Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_41gsJmIwVA

So far, Iyama managed to destroy Shiban's right side influence and is, according to AI, far ahead (>90% winning percentage). Let's see if he can keep that advantage in ...

I'm really busy with work at the moment so I actually forgot about the game.. :oops: So thanks a lot for the reminder, John. And get well soon!

I'm very happy that Iyama won. I like both players, but I want Iyama to keep the Honinbo title for a bit longer and will cheer for him in the last game on ...

Re: New tournament in Japan

The first round was supposed to have been played about one month ago, can I find the results anywhere? Has the 2nd round already been played as well?
