Replace 18k with any rank more than 2 stones weaker than yours and my point still holds. It's got nothing to do with any specific game you've played just that you've never given a handicap on the KenPruitt account. You don't seem to like taking them either.KenPruitt wrote:I'm still trying to figure out what my game with an 18k who took me up on the game I opened has to do with the game I posted here.Boidhre wrote:No. The point is, you playing for example an 18k even right now unless it's specifically meant as a teaching game isn't a good idea, both of you would benefit more from a 6 stone game as you could both learn things from it and the strength gap is far too big for an even game to be remotely interesting. If you just play them even and then just play normally then sure, you'll crush them but that isn't a good thing for you or them. The same argument goes for playing stronger players, take handicaps more often. Never playing handicap games is a bad idea, mainly because you miss out on valuable lessons on dealing with influence and fighting especially. It's good for you, the weaker players you play and the stronger ones.KenPruitt wrote:My god, you are all making it sound like I play nothing but weaker players. I just open a game and play whomever, provided they are registered and have a rank showing.
