sebmojo posted:Thanks for your thoughts, all. It's essentially a game between an adult and a child, so that does make sense; I would guess it's about 70% a crude 8 bit picture of the monster and 30% an indication of the importance of the monster to the story as a whole, which is something that's been well signposted elsewhere. This sounds like a pretty deep stick figure internet cartoon.

Does anyone else get loads of error messages when running the KGS client? It works but is a bit annoying e: Also how should I be before trying to play on Tygem? distortion park fucked around with this message at 21:48 on Feb 4, 2014 |

haha I meant how good do you need to be, but it was a faintly amusing typo. It's a bunch of Java errors on win8, I have Java 7.

Rurik posted:Are there any websites or resources on the Internet where I can type in the games I've played and their results so I can follow my progress? Cool generated graphs would be nice. Or do I have to use just Google Docs? If you play on kgs it records everything for you and makes a nice rank graph.

oiseaux morts 1994 posted:It's not a large single game, but 9 gobans joined together - note the borders. Although they could use it as one large goban, the current stone positions suggest not. I think it is one game - some of the stones would be dead if it weren't.

I'd say that the community on KGS is far better than most places, people are generally polite and most will chat a little if you make an effort.

brakanjan posted:Also does anyone know any other site than KGS that is worth playing on. I am a casual player and played on KGS a few years ago and I remember it being quite ruthless to find matches against better players due to the ranking system. If you start at 30 most people did not want to play with you. you can start with a proposed rank up to about 10k or so i think and it'll work out what ranking you are pretty quickly.

Goquest is excellent, i definitely feel like I'm improving my fighting. e: the bots ranks seem a bit inflated though, I think some players must just resign at the start against them. distortion park fucked around with this message at 16:22 on Aug 16, 2019 |

Brawnfire posted:Heyo everyone, I'm someone who loves go but doesn't have anyone to play with in person. I tried a couple clubs in my area but... they're not my type of people. I don't know anything about my rating or anything like that as I've only played casually with friends who I had to teach the rules in the first place. I might be interested in trying my hand at an online game if someone is open to walking a novice through the steps to do so? The easiest ways are: * Get goquest on your phone for blitz 9x9 games. Very addictive and you'll get way better at fighting. * Make an account on online-go.com for full size games. It can take a while to find games there though. They also have a very good library of puzzles for beginners. Both of those will try and match you up with players of roughly equal skill, although it night take a few games to do so. There's also KGS which used to be the best for beginners, idk anymore.

Brawnfire posted:Is there any way to figure out where your ranking is in terms of skill, or will that just become clear through play? When I tried to match up with people in the past, I've been asked my rank and I'm like idk, I know the rules and gently caress up a bunch. Play a bunch online and it'll stabilise eventually. They aren't that meaningful at 18k+ since you'll improve very quickly

sephiRoth IRA posted:GoQuest starts you at like 1k and you’ll move up and down from there. Turn off the “see other peoples ranks” option and just fight until you’re better. It started me with an ELO of 900 and then for the first few games did something weird, sometimes it would go up even when I lost., I think 10k is like 1050, 1d is 1700.

It could be the case that someone comes up with a new way of representing or analysing Go that lets them prove that a certain sequence is optimal, but that isn't really the direction the latest advancements have gone in.

Has GoQuest seen a bunch of rank inflation? I haven't played in ages (like a year) but am suddenly winning loads of games, before i was appropriately ranked

Just had a very DDK moment: I passed, my opponent passed, I lost by 2.5 points. Then the OGS game analyzer suggested I should have been 30 points ahead, and after looking more closely at its suggested moves I realized that I could have taken half of one of his big groups.

I've noticed a difference in play styles between OGS and Goquest at my level (10k on ogs). OGS players love playing the 3-3 points in 9x9, but Goquest ones don't. I wonder why? I started out on Goquest for 9x9 and am having trouble punishing it. I'm sure it's suboptimal though, playing 3-3 seems like such a small move a lot of the time.

Scythe posted:I think playing the 4-4 on top is the best response to a 3-3 opening on a 9x9. If not, maybe 5-5 (by transposition, since 5-5 is a good opening and 3-3 is a bad response to it)? I only really play goquest and ogs now. OGS has plenty of games at my rank and the features and ui are great.

Playing against humans will really hammer home some common patterns - e.g. around what happens when two lines approach a board edge. I lost a lot of points before working them out!
