Opponent sought - peaceful Easy feeling 2-stone challenge

Post by ez4u »

In honor of Joaz unilaterally promoting the big EZ to 4d :tmbdown: just to make his tournament tables look nice (the sound of all that sand running out of the bag is most distressing), I am offering the following challenge to the first lucky contestant ranked 1k to 3k:
Handicap 2
Reverse komi: 15 points for 1k, 25 points for 2k, 35 points for 3k

Any takers? :cool:

This sounds pretty cool actually. I'm 1k, shall we dance?

Done. :tmbup: Can you set us up? I have to run off to a few hours of meetings here.

Edit: I set us up as #131.

You seem to be doing rather well for a 3D. In your game against Topazg, whose latest rating on KGS as Johndoe69 is 2D, you won by resignation in a mere 128 moves. A quick count shows you to be ahead by at least 30 points. I think that is great play for a 3D. :tmbup:

Also, your comments in the game analysis forum suggest something greater than 3D strength.

And, you list your own rank as Japanese 6D. Converting according to this table, http://senseis.xmp.net/?RankWorldwideComparison, you would be at least KGS 5D.

Don't worry, be happy! I was joking. :bow:

Edit: Actually I would never have claimed that my incompetence with the clock running carries over to turn-based Go, but Graham forgot to ask! ;-)
