Life In 19x19

I would like to apologize for starting this thread.

Rather I would like to thank you for having informed us of the existence of the new ruleset!

The ensuing discussion is very useful for reflecting possible consequences of the rules before they will be applied. This gives players a chance to prepare themselves instead of being caught with unexpected application. It is also important to know how the IGF enhances its scope of activity in relation to the players.

Dear Robert,

if you were serious about politics you would not complain about being banned from international competition for making a political statement. That is, if you are sure that it is a statement worth making. For inspiration take a look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968_Olymp ... wer_salute - I would not mind you giving a statement on your hope for a unified Korea after winning the KPMC e,g, - would have been more impressive during military rule in South Korea but still. (But only after winning.)

Since nobody has been banned yet, I do not complain about such but about the possibility of somebody being banned in future on political grounds.
