Has anyone tried this?

Thanks for the link

I will be in Heidelberg, Germany for the next 3 weeks. Does anyone know of an active go club here or want to play? I don't speak German unfortunately.

About 6 months ago I walked into that coffee bean and randomly spotted Ed's club. They were very welcoming, and I played a couple games. Thanks for that!

I have a book called "Master Play" by Yuan Zhou that might be what you're looking for. It has commentated games from 7 different historical top pro players. I find it easy to understand. Yuan Zhou also has some other books of this nature I don't own.

I agree that KGS admins can go overboard with the moderation and periodically make big deals out of nothing.

At the end of the day what he accomplishes is making himself appear ...

In this article we read 7 paragraphs about drama critics in New York. Those paragraphs have almost no connection to go. The author then tells us that drama critics, like go organizers, are failures at life.

Gotta say, I didn't really find this to be a very enlightening read.

Blinking keeps the eyes moist so they don't dry out.

I agree with Gorim in that a book on opening strategy would probably be far more worthwhile than a Joseki book for overall game improvement. Memorizing the very common basic josekis will be helpful, but there is little point in studying the more complicated variations at your stage. A book on the ...

The loss seems to me to have been explained well enough.

More concerning to me is the lack of follow through. The e-journal reported a loss and promised a follow up response. Instead the board decided that it had "blown over".

A loss is not a big deal, it happens. But when the e-journal reports ...

Lol, this thread rules!

Is my understanding below correct?

Better lag-handling protocol on KGS because it's frustrating to lose games due to lag that cannot be controlled by player
