Hello, I'm having a difficult time finding evenly matched players to play games with.

Would anyone like a game there? I have two open. If you're interested, we could do a Malkovich-lite game.

Hi there, most players on OGS use ladders, mini-tournaments, and tournaments to find games. I've accepted one of your open games

Oh, thanks. Hmm, I'll have to do some digging. Cause I've been on the site for months lookign for open games :O

Take a look under "Tournaments" on the left-side panel

p.s. in case you haven't noticed, there are some nifty options under "preferences" and "site skinning".

The great thing with the ladder is that your opponents have no choice

So you get to play all the stronger players you want - in even games.

Thanks, you guys got me started off real nicely.

I guess the hard part is getting rid of the provisional tag so that I can join ladder games. Well, now that shouldnt be a problem.

Wrong area, I know. But since Topazg was in here... I have kindle fire, any way I can get the OGS .apk file? I doubt it's in amazon appstore.

If I remember correctly, I think you only need 2 rated games and 10% rating confidence (which should not be a problem because the first game will set it to 10% and it decreases quite slowly), which is much easier than becoming non-provisional (>50% confidence).

One quick method is to just play 2 9x9 games with bots, but given your current number of games there's not much need

Wrong person too. topazg was one of the co-founders of OGS, but for the last few years dmg has been the boss. And the Android app is by another person, Tim Kington aka MatCauthon. I commend Graham for being able to let his baby go and be cared for by other people when he no longer could devote the time and effort it deserves
