Life In 19x19

Thanks for your updates HermanHiddema! Very much appreciated. And wow, Taiwan did very well this year. Very impressed at the little kid's performance. Before the WAGC began, I was looking forward to how the youngest player in the WAGC would do. I look forward to how he'll do in the future WAGC ...

According to http://ranka.intergofed.org/, it seems like a slight clock malfunction which confused both players until the clock ran out of time. My apologies to the American representative. I wonder how often this happens in the WAGC. They should use better clocks if this happens too often.

I have been to a tournament before a long time ago where the game was very close but the clock was running low for my opponent and he started having 1 hand on the clock and 1 playing moves very quickly so he doesn't run out of time.

If my opponent is breaking the rules, I don't really mind if he ...

To me, Japan's loss to the US was definitely the biggest upset. Japan had that game won for sure and he was leading through the whole game, even though US played well. As much as I'd like the US to do well as an American myself, something just doesn't feel right to me about a game so close to the ...

Would you happen to know which country North Korea beat? I can't seem to find his opponent's name here http://www.nihonkiin.or.jp/amakisen/wor ... pants.html

According to the broadcast on World Baduk, Eric Lui just crushed the Taiwanese challenger. He should get 3rd place in the WAGC. He's had to face France, China, Korea, and Taiwan and by no means had a easy way through the WAGC. Congrats to Eric and USA for highest finish the USA ever got!!! To the ...

Big thanks to Killerducky for organizing this!

Congrats to Araban for getting first again.

Wow, for those of you guys who didn't watch the second set of the semi finals in the GSL code S, go watch it. Minus the first game... BEST. SERIES. EVER. (actually maybe thorzain vs MC was better, but meh)

I'm fine with next week as well. Very sorry for your loss. Take your time...

Just think. What would NPH do?
