KGS Player -----> Wbaduk

[nagano]

@Kansai-ben Wbaduk ranks are much more accurate at higher levels. Don't let this discourage you from playing there. There is much to be learned countering such an aggressive style.

[Dusk Eagle]

...they just made one overplay after the other, smashing stones on the board until your freedoms are gone. they didn`t care about joseki, making good shape or fuseki.

I can't help but feel there's a lot to be learned from that.

hmmm ... maybe you are right. i shouldn`t care about my ranking there but just try 2 learn .... hmm ...

@ nagano ... do u live in nagano?

I can't help but feel there's a lot to be learned from that.

learn how to fight massive overplay ... yes
learn "a lot" .... probably not. fighting is important, but its not everything in go. especially for me as i am a kind of aesthetic go player (eg i like lee chanho`s playing style)

[Tryphon]

I'm pretty sure that aesthetic go style comes after mastering fighting style. IIRC, it's true for Lee Chang Ho (he developped his style after having tried to outfight his master) and Takemiya.

i love and hate it how they often have no regard for a quite and balanced development but aggressively cut everything und skillfully (and often succesfully) hunt down even strong groups.
Actually all that I hate about their game reminds me of my own style/flaws. But huge fights and terrible losses really are a lot of fun ...

When you run on Linux, is there a way to watch Wbaduk games ? (not play, just watch)

At least at one point, wine worked.

Also you can find and compile the source for qgo2 which would then work natively. I think development stopped a while ago, but it did work.

[Redundant]

Wbaduk works with wine in Ubuntu 11.04, and I assume it will also work in any other modern linux distro.

[cdybeijing]

It works in wine for me on 10.04. I was having some problems with the program crashing 6 months - 1 year ago when I first installed it, but recent releases seem to have mostly fixed that.

I still have yet to play a game there, though I've been able to watch without problems.

[lefuet]

sometimes after a game ends in counting and we both agreed which groups are dead, I get hundreds of identical error messages "Klasse nicht registriert" (class not registered) and I have to manually kill the process.

this started only a few weeks ago and could be related to me cleaning my w2k installation by removing remainders of old program installations and other 'unused' files.

anybody had a similar problem? Or any idea what the culprit might be?

[cdybeijing]

Running on Wine, most of the buttons on the interface don't work for me and cause errors, but all of the important ones pertaining to finding a game and navigating through it are okay. I have not had any problems in scoring.

[cdybeijing]

I also wanted to add that I played on WBaduk for the first time last night, 7 games. I'm playing in the low SDK range and I didn't encounter a single escaper or sandbagger. It was a lot of fun and I will play there more often.

I just had the same effect (just happened at the end of a game which I should have won by points, now it's gone... ). I remembered that you can get rid of this by deactivating all flash animations within the client. For that you have to go on "setting" at upper right window border and then click the "flash" register card. In the dialog you have to check all boxes in order to deactivate flash, which seems rather weird UI style but it works.

It probably happened after the client has updated itself, because in my case after the update all checked boxes were unchecked again.

Another question: it seems to me that on the Android's English wbaduk client, only losses are counted and rated on the server but wins are ignored. Did anyone observe this behavior, too? This makes it even more challenging for me to climb over DDK barrier...

Edit: Sorry to reactivate this ancient thread. I thought I read about this error message just recently and then used the search function for replying...

[SaiLens]

I can't make an account... the "confirmation email" never arrives.
I once had a cyberoro account, but I can't remember my login...

[Gohst]

Try sending the confirmation E-mail to another E-mail address, if you have one. Over the last few months, a scheme to combat spam called DMARC has been put into action by several major E-mail sites. Without going into detail, it tries to guarantee that the domain on the "From" address matches the domain of the server sending the mail.

The net result of this DMARC change is that a lot of (non-spam) mail that was previously delivered just fine now doesn't reach its intended recipient. Or, there can be the usual problem with the mail going to your "spam" folder, maybe?
