IMHO..The estimate button not surprisingly does not estimate very well. I highly recommend trying to kick the habit of using that button.
again just my opinion... as a long time barely sdk I do not claim to know anything about this game

Is the estimate button in certain go clients an unfair advantage for ddk and other kyu players? I have heard it said that all weak players need is reading, but I find myself using that estimate button like a mouse in a science experiment trying to get cheese. |

You don't have any control over what tools others use against you online. Nor do they have any control over you. Just remember that if you use them you have a rank based on that use. Nothing intrinsically wrong in that as the opponent is getting a known entity - a rank based on the way you are likely to be playing against them. But don't try to translate that rank into the real world if you enter a tournament. |

I agree, though in its defense most online games don't really allow for the positional judgement in terms of time limits, so it is nice to be able to actually see a game progress in a balanced manner with full board development, like I see in books. |

If you practice a bit, you can get counting down to < 30 seconds. |
