4 of 12 Games Set! 4 More Needed!

Current Record: 0-5



Hello, I've thought of an interesting way to improve my game. Nothing new. Nothing too exciting. My goal is to play 12 games with at least six different members of L19 a month, and I can play the same member 2 per month. I'd like these games to sort of be semi-scheduled.

I figure we could play these as free games on KGS without either playing taking a handicap (depending on the scenario), but the winner has to give a review. So if I win, I'll give the review. If My opponent wins, they give the review. As for rules, feel free to state the rules you'd like the game to be played with and the settings.

Anyone interested? If so, just tell me which game slot you'd like to fill, and when you'll be able to play. :)

Game 01: SoDesuNe 0-1 Loss By Resign
Game 02: Nathan (Wednesday) 0-2 Loss By Resign
Game 03: p2501 0-3 Loss By Resign
Game 04: Nathan 0-4 Loss By Resign
Game 05: lindentree 0-5 Loss By Resign
Game 06: lindentree (Sunday) 10PM My Time
Game 07: ???
Game 08: ???
Game 09: ???
Game 10: p2501
Game 11: SoDesuNe (20min MT, 5x30sec Byo-Yomi,Japanese Rules)
Game 12: ???

I'd like to participate but I would prefer to play with handicap since I need to improve my strategic thinking : D

Fine for me is: At least 20 minutes main time, 5 rounds 30 seconds to 1 minute Byo-Yomi - japanese ruleset.


post scriptum: I'm regulary free to play on tuesdays, thursdays and fridays. Weekend depends. I'm UTC+1 and playing in late afternoon or in the evening would be the best for me.

I would definitely play.

I'm good with whatever time limit you choose.

As for scheduling, we'd likely have to arrange each game in advance, as I have to work with a pretty busy life schedule. :)

Cool idea. I will totally play you, but maybe not this month, I'm a bit distracted.

Alright then. That sounds fine. How does tomorrow sound? I'll be logged on for the better part of the day, so all you have to do is look for me. I won't be hard to find lol.

So, I could set you up for Game 1 and perhaps Game 8?

Well, I'm free pretty much all the time this month and next month. I won't be starting college until January, so these two months are pretty much my freedom months lol. Just tell me the dates you'd like to play, and I can probably fit my rather unfilled schedule around it. :D

Hm, I've never played on DGS. I'm familiar with OGS, though. However, I can definitely play on DGS if you'd like. I believe I created an account a while ago, but I'll have to check. If I haven't created a name yet, I'll create one.

Edit:
I just looked at it, and I have signed up to play on DGS. So, I suppose we could play game 2 and 5? Are there any particular rules or settings you'd like to use?

Tuesday again would be best, I think. What about the 22nd of this month? (I have to make sure, I won't forget ^^)

Sure, that's fine. I'll just relocate the second game to one of the last slots.

19x19 even and relativly fast time settings. If you tell me your nick I'll invite you and you can change anything you like then.

This should be fun. :D

By the way, 6 more games needed as I noted at the top! So, if you'd like to join the fun, feel free to say so.
