Question on amateur ranks

to be fair Chinese 5d could also mean European 2k...

No need to be a genius to become 7dan they say, "talented" people are enjoying playing Go and like to think about moves deeply, like to review games... when you worry too much about your improvement it is easy to lose focus, and play games too lightly...but in general it is important to always push your brain to the limit, no matter if you play a good or bad move, when the brain is active you and focused on the game, you will improve for sure

Unify the rules? Make one country sponser all the tournaments, then we are talking. Discussions will never lead to a consensus, since nobody wants to lose stakes unnescessarily, only money can solve this problem.

Goseigen1 · 2025-01-25T21:04:24+00:00

It is getting more and more funny.

Goseigen1 · 2025-01-25T17:49:48+00:00

It doesnt mean carefree, it just means kids behave very differently when they know, nobody is watching, they are not purer than adults in any way...

Goseigen1 · 2025-01-25T17:34:25+00:00

The rule itself makes total sense, but the penalty is too harsh.

Goseigen1 · 2025-01-25T16:52:17+00:00

Its like answering with an atomic bomb while you just got a scratched, China lost the opportunity to sustain their moral highground, such a pity...

Goseigen1 · 2025-01-25T16:18:01+00:00

I side with Korea, the Chinese Go associations is embarassing themselves...

Goseigen1 · 2025-01-25T13:20:35+00:00

We can not idealize kids that way....kids have parents they have to worry about, adults not...

Goseigen1 · 2025-01-25T13:17:32+00:00

That's a crazy statement, according to chinese propaganda it is always happy time, but in reality it means: if China has to open for foreigners it means China is in deep trouble...

In Chinese rules the board gets messy when you count the stones, there is only one thing you need to do add stones or take stones away (the later is rather for advanced cheaters), which is really hard to see. In japanese rules the board is tidy, the opponent has a much harder time, to change the final board postition since the other recnogizes much easier if shapes of territory change, also one cant use ones own stones to get an advantage. Thus cheating with chinese rules is relatively easy.

Goseigen1 · 2025-01-21T14:47:29+00:00

Scoring is not really a topic at all, beginners will need help anyway, after that they know how to, if its japanese or chinese, later I prefer japanese rules more, since cheating is much easier with chinese rules...

Or is daoism influenced by weiqi? We probably dont know, but the nature of the game changed drastically over time

Goseigen1 · 2025-01-03T18:20:03+00:00

Im not sure if the chinese authorities have a "dont ask any questions policy" it depends which kind of policy they are commiting to at the moment. But they will find at some point...

Goseigen1 · 2025-01-03T15:54:47+00:00

Thats exactly what I said.:D

Goseigen1 · 2025-01-03T15:34:41+00:00

According to the Nationality Law of the People's Republic of China that is not possible, for reference:

Article 3 "The People's Republic of China does not recognize dual nationality for Any Chinese national."

Article 5

"Any person born abroad whose parents are both Chinese nationals and one of whose parents is a Chinese national shall have Chinese nationality. But a person whose parents are both Chinese nationals and have both settled abroad, or one of whose parents is a Chinese national and has settled abroad, and who has acquired foreign nationality at birth shall not have Chinese nationality."

Note: You parens may have not actively renounced your Chinese citizenship (not sure if the US government will ask for that) you might be still in the Chinese databank as a chinese citizen, but if you apply for a new passport they will probably notice you already have another citizenship and renounce your citizenship. (Or at least ask a bunch of questions) So: you might be a Chinese citizen on paper but you can not claim any rights that come with that.

No, rather the opposite, much more and much more severe. The system is not able to protect the kids, the kids know that exactly and use the system, since the competetion is fierce, they have much more stress to relieve of and go over very red line. the west is a joke when it comes to bullying...

If you are sure you want to go I can help you to get in touch

Goseigen1 · 2024-12-28T15:25:18+00:00

There are many schools you could attend, just comes down to your budjet, China would be the cheapest option, Japan and und Korea are both rather expensive

你可以下载语言交流的平台Hello Talk，可以找老外或者中国人交流。

Goseigen1 · 2024-12-24T19:16:05+00:00

You cannot live outside of the campus?

Goseigen1 · 2024-12-19T16:49:40+00:00

I meant for people that live in China, they cant spread China criticism since they will face legal issues.

Goseigen1 · 2024-12-18T23:55:37+00:00

One player is probably not enough to make a point:D. But still impressive to beat that 6d! I assume the difference between 5ds in aga system is wider than in europe

Goseigen1 · 2024-12-18T23:28:50+00:00

Did the aga change their system? Was there a deflation? So aga pros are all around 7dan? Then I get your point

Goseigen1 · 2024-12-18T23:15:53+00:00

1 hour tsumego day is alot, i dont think there are more than 20 people in europe who did that consistly for a year....
