here you go: and

[mith]

Made the background transparent, uploaded, edited post. Have a nice day.

[VinnyQ]

Hey! Mith can get the password without me telling!

[casinopete]

traditionally, you don't use "I" in the grid, but instead just skip to "J".

[VinnyQ]

why?

Also, I don't know the convention for typing up GO moves. Care to enlighten, petesie?

[eixdeuce]

Mind if I play...

I will place white stone at G6

[VinnyQ]

eixdeuce, I emailed you the "GO" username's password.

[eixdeuce]

F3 and may I inquire as to what komi we are setting?

[This message has been edited by eixdeuce (edited 03-29-2003 06:27 PM).]

[casinopete]

I suppose it's simply because of the similarity between the 'i' and the '1'. I can't imagine it would really cause any confusion, but as I said, it's normal to skip the 'i'.

and as to notation, it's the intuitive <letter> <number> on the grid that you're already using.

[VinnyQ]

Thanks pete.

E6

Komi? What's that?

[eixdeuce]

C7

Komi is compensation in points given to white for playing the weaker side - since black has the advantage of going first.

Since you seem to be fairly new at this how about we set it at 4.5

I'm not sure that's entirely fair. If this is your first few games of Go, then that is probably too high. However, I'm also a beginner. I learned how to play a few months ago.

[VinnyQ]

4.5 it is.

D7.

Yup, I am fairly new at this. I too learned this game a few months ago. I would rather play 19x19 though, if this 9x9 trial run turn out ok. You interested?

[eixdeuce]

hmm...13x13 sounds more reasonable for this sort of format...I think 19x19 would take quite a while. I'm not sure I would be able to finish the game but I'm willing to try it.

D8

[VinnyQ]

C6

[eixdeuce]

E7 and I made a clarifying change to the GO prisoners captured.

[VinnyQ]

OK.

C8.

What kyu are you approximately, eix?

[eixdeuce]

I have no idea how to scale myself according to kyu but I'd guess something like 16kyu.

C9.

Try the igowin program out and tell me how far you can get. I want to know what I am up against here. (I average around 13 kyu on the program)

B7.

(Hey pete, if you're still reading this thread. Are there any notation for taking prisoners?)

[eixdeuce]

E8

I've played that program before. I don't remember but I think I can get down to 11 kyu on it. But I may just be making up a number lower than 13 for the intimidation factor

[casinopete]

actually, I believe they expect you to instantly reconstruct the game simply by looking at the list of moves. thus, you don't need to keep track of the prisoners at all, you just count them as you "replay" the game.

( I'm sure any method will work fine )

[VinnyQ]

erk, ok.

E4 taking first black stone into custody...then broadcasting his image on television.

[HyToFry]

I'll try to make a quick tag for this, and see how it goes.
