[Joelnelsonb]

I like this test more.

This test looks really cool but I can't figure out how to use it (no tech-savvy here). I don't play on kgs so how do I upload my game archive?

[Celebrir]

My style is flexible and I'll try the other test as well as soon as possible

[phillip1882]

i've taken the first test before and got flexible. now i get greedy.
the second test gives me internal server error both for uploading a file and typing in user name.

Here are my GoStyle Web App results from the latest DGS games.

Style

Territoriality: 8.07 ± 1.43
Novelty: 3.39 ± 1.63
Aggresivity: 3.50 ± 1.42
Thickness: 5.16 ± 1.48

The whole range is from 0 to 10.

I hadn't tried the GoStyle app before, and it's really interesting! It got my rank within the error bars, which was impressive.

Apparently I'm roughly in the midrange on the four dimensions (though maybe a little bit fighty and a little bit experimental) and I push from behind a lot, and rarely cap but maybe should.

Also it strongly recommends I read books I've already read, which I guess means I haven't really taken them in

Same here!

I got 'flexible."
Territoriality 5.9
Novelty 6.4
Aggressivity 4.8
Thickness 4.2

It recommends I study Yoda Norimoto. All I remember from the last time I tried this app is that it recommended Dosaku.

I tried the web app.

Rank estimation: 5d ± 2.63

Professionals who have similar style as you:

Luo Xihe
Gu Li
Go Seigen
Yi Se'tol

Professionals whose style is farthest from yours:

Miyazawa Goro
Honinbo Shusaku
Kobayashi Koichi
Honinbo Shuwa

Bad things you play:
You should concrentrate on the concept of sente and gote. Do you ask after every enemy move, Do I need to respond to this? and If so, Do I have a possibility to respond on some unexpected place so that the threat is neutralized, but the opponent in turn has to respond?

[DJLLAP]

So I guess I am shodan now Also the use of the word "aggresivity" makes the entire experience transcendent.

Bad things you play

We found out, that you really like to capture stones. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but are you always sure, that the stones you captured are important and the mere 6 points you get for capturing them is the best move on board? (E.g. in the opening, ...)
