Life In 19x19

First, a few minor comments about fuseki:
1) Move 5 was probably better on the left side. It is bigger.
2) After he makes an east-facing shimari in the top left, move 7 is definitely in the wrong place. It should be around K16.
3) Move 17 is inefficient. It strengthens your strong stones. It would ...

Dear Go friends,

As you may have already heard, I would like to organize the upcoming 65th European Go Congress (07/22 - 08/05/2023). I also found a suitable venue in Leipzig/Markkleeberg. The Rudolf Hildebrand School is located directly ...

Thanks. I didn't know about a fourth. When I bought them, there were only three.

Edit: SOLD



I'm offering the first three volumes of Kaiho's "Dictionary of Basic Fuseki". I bought them new, never even opened two of them.

Volumes one and three are in new condition; volume two has been bumped, resulting in minor damage to the upper right corner. It also has very slight creasing ...

To make it easier for commenters, I posted the SGF.

Hi, and welcome to L19.

Most of the books in that series examine a single subject from the simple to the advanced. So often you will benefit from reading part of the book, then setting the rest aside for later.

First, I would read Volume 1, "in the Beginning". Read all of it. Some of it won't make ...

I've been a moderate basketball fan for decades. I can recall watching the 1972 playoffs with my father when the Lakers won.
Here is a brief history of the NBA play-in tournament, warts and all.

The NBA adopted the play-in as one of several tools in an attempt to preserve the 2019-2020 season at ...

It has been usual over the years to commit to the location of next year's Congress during the current Congress.
Does anyone know if this was done this year for Congress 2023?
If so, where will it be?
If not, what is the reason for the delay?

As you can see, I was getting a lot of criticism for sharing the things I learned about Go on this reddit baduk forum:
https://www.reddit.com/r/baduk/comments/wstqf7/weak_kyu_players_black_has_played_his_opening/

Therefore I am seeking a place where I dont get so heavily criticized for not being ...

A combination of doctor's appointments and apprehension of unpredictable hot weather leads me to stay here in southern California.

I wish all of you guys the best.

Note that the aji at 'a' remains, regardless of whether or not black plays :b1:.
