Q: Which is better, a peanut butter sandwich, or eternal happiness?

A: A peanut butter sandwich, of course.

Proof: Most would agree, that nothing is better than eternal happiness. But on the other hand, a peanut butter sandwich is certainly better than nothing ...

If you read this thread, don't listen to anything I have to say. I'm on a losing streak and getting paired up with a lot of bronze players, so I think I'm gonna get demoted. I'm on the cusp of demotion, too. Just don't lose to too many of those Bronzies and you should be fine. And remember that ...

By the way there is a nice go board in one of the common rooms of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton (Simonyi Hall, if I remember correctly).

In our game, HermanHiddema took white and won (by resignation). Not a very good game on my part, I am afraid, but here it is

Poor zerg. I tried a few games as random, and got fed up fighting the terrans. Then one time I get matched against a zerg player, my `random' turns out to be `terran'... Well, at least I could try copying what my previous opponent just did to me ...

Now I'm confused. I thought you meant PDT (Daylight time), which is the time zone on the west coast right now (GMT-7). Do you really mean PST (Standard time), that is, GMT -8?

Probably. It is an accurate claim. Check out this thread: http://www.godiscussions.com/forum/show ... php?t=9065

Joaz, if you called yourself originator, I would absolutely agree. I guess I am the only person to whom orginator sounds almost creepy.

I wanted to get a second account on KGS for playing when I am really tired, or generally not in a mood for playing seriously... So I named it DeadTired. Later, I realized I am tired all the time, and this is the only account I am using. I lost my original account because of inactivity since, and ...
