Life In 19x19

Alwyays felt bad to wake up and realized you missed plenty of top games ? or you don't even realize, at all, heh.

I just found this website, which keeps a list of the latest 100 top games played on kgs (updated in real-time) :

Don't miss them anymore !

Thanks to whoever created this ^^

Here's a record by Ohashi Hirufumi (6p) against a strong opponent - Kubo Niwa, if google's translation is not too far off (please someone confirm), in which occured a quintuple Ko.

As far as I know, this is the first example of a quintuple ko happening in a real game. It was played on June 30th ...

Most players are probably aware of the 1930 game in which Kitani Minoru and Murashima Yoshikatsu were both deemed to have lost their Oteai game because they took a break for sleep instead of playing on. This is, however, not the only game in which both players have lost.

I wasn't aware of that ...

That sounds very helpful to my newb ears, oca... but as a newbie, my silly question will be, how to use this ?

I create a text file which I rename as .go and paste all this in it ? and then run it ?
just like for a .sh ?

I do use Kombilo, which doesn't allow mass-renaming of the files.
You are right to say it does display the tags, but my original files names are kinda nonsense sometimes, so I'd like to rename them all.

If it were just for me, I wouldn't mind using nonsensical names for those files, as I can view ...

The syntax looks like this in sgf files :

(;GM[1]FF[4]SZ[19]CA[UTF-8]PW[Akedo Kazumi]PB[Hamanaka Takamitsu]WR[6p]BR[4p]KM[0]RE[B+R]EV[Oteai]PC[Nihon Ki-in, Central Japan Branch]DT[1986-05-29]RO[Round1]

With those tags I would like to rename the file(s) so that it becomes :
PW[X]WR[6p] VS PB[Y]BR ...

Hi !

I have those sgf files, downloaded while I was wandering on go websites, and not necessarily english ones...
They are sometimes named as numbers.sgf or by using acronyms LCHvsGL.sgf

I wish I could rename them by using their tags to give a proper name : LeeChangHo-GuLi-Event-Date-Result.sgf ...

Hey sir quantum,

It's not possible for now to develop an IoS client for kgs, because Java is not supported. But the good news is, wms (kgs developper) has been working on an html client which will be accessible via IoS, and that will have the same functionnalities (in better than now) as the ...

Could it be, this tourney ? http://www.wbaduk.com/event/witc2/intro.asp

i guess not, chinese players wouldn't play each other, or would they ?

As promised, here is my list of taiwanese pros. Just like for the chinese one, you can click the names to be redirected to their games-lists - when there is one - I couldn't find any data at all for a few of them, for various reasons. Either they don't play as pros, or they are too "fresh" as pros ...

Hey macelee

I already have the pinyin names for all players, but I didn't include them in the database purposely. First, because the romanization often looks the same, and because I wanted the names to fit the ones one can find on senseis, go4go and the likes.

I will share a copy of all lists as ...

I read about the obituary, but I didn't know about the new website, thank you

I was about to try but I get "access denied, error 403", trying to reach http://www.gogod.co.uk/ ?

As it always pisses me off to have to browse from a site to another to find some informations on X or Y player, I created a table which lists all players. This is the first "sketch" version for the chinese professional players.
And so I'll share it here, it might be useful to many players as well ...
