Don't replay, "Ok, sorry".

But... but... butbutbut...

You have my permission to think of me as a 2-stroke slow engine.

I prefer to overapologize, much specially online with people who've never seen my face. It avoids flame wars that go on weeks after the misunderstanding has been resolved by the main parties.

Kirby, I'd love to. Not a good moment, on several levels. Not at 60 USD, my current level, my backlog... many things. I think I almost bought it back then [2017?], and I think that's when I bought Invincible, but I can't seem to find the order. But, also, what I want is to use the TeX file. I already have the PDF, and a laser printer. That's not it; I don't think I'm even going to be able to read it, for a while; not beyond flavor browsing. But I'm fighting with LaTeX at the moment and that would be a good option. I first met TeX, mainly via CompSci and Go, back in the mod 90s, kinda was one of the reasons to quit Windows, and then switched to LyX. Also... I'm having an idea about it, but first I have to finish something else. Two something elses.

Anyhow, for several reasons, what I want is the TeX. Not need, but it would be good to have.

Take care.

This is a harsh judgement! Online retail is a brutally competitive industry at the best of times. And it's next to impossible to make money out of go in the English speaking world. What David, Jing and Younggil achieved through GGG is truly remarkable. I don't imagine a more experienced or less enthusiastic team doing any better!

Can't agree more. I've been lucky to meet him in person through the Australian tournament scene. He's always been kind and patient with beginners, ready to help anyone who wants to learn more about go.

I wanted to sound apologetic rather than harsh. They truly achieved remarkable things but maybe overstretched themselves in their enthusiasm to spread the love for Go through a business paradigm.

a) Thanks.
b) I found one of the copies I've downloaded [*] of Go on Go, in TeX.

Then checking several sites... How is it that Relentless (CC) and Go on Go (GPL) are not more widely linked? Relentless' files, for example, are not mentioned on SL's "Online books" or it's own page, and 'Go on Go' isn't in OGS's resources' page. [+] There seems to be a decent Intro trove of public information, a bit for DDK... and it plummets from there.

Take care.

[*] I've downloaded that book, and lost it, more times than I can count. You might say (there's more to it, but...) I forwent Windows after fighting TeX and PS because of it, and others. Although maybe I'm wrong and I'm mixing things, because it was before 1999.

[+] I think I didn't find Relentless before, either, but it seems to be there now. Either I was off, or it got put recently.

Easy to fix.

I can do that, sure, if it's adequate. I'm starting to think there's a reason behind it.

Take care

From the Internet Archive preserved pages, most of the game commentary sgfs were preserved! However, I have found two glaring instances where the page was archived but the sgfs were not. I'm hoping someone in this community was able to save these annotated sgfs contained in these two links. Please share! Thanks for taking the trouble! It would be much appreciated!
