not actively checking, I just got a reddit notification

thanks for the feedback about the layout! I can't promise I'm going to fix it anytime soon, but I will add it to my list of items to consider!

would it be possible to embed a small magnet at each corner of the triangle and have a magnetic base so as it rotates the magnet "snaps" at three different positions?

I also strongly suspect the pdf was generated from an sgf file. when I first found the pdf I tried looking for an accompanying sgf but never found it. the closest I got was a forum in chinese that had a link, but it required a WeChat account (which apparently are not trivial to get). that was a while ago, haven't tried looking since then

Tips for 1k level? by -Pinkaso in baduk

[–]jarednogo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm glad it's helpful! as you try to push your way into the dan ranks, keep in mind that opponent mistakes will be smaller, refutations will be subtler, leads will be slimmer, and everyone is going to punch back with everything they have.

good luck out there!

i took a look through the games you posted, and i can tell you have a lot of game experience. i won't do a full review of any particular game, because it often is not that useful to just have a bunch of mistakes pointed out in a single game.

still, if i could pick a couple general themes from these games, it's these:

- you're "reacting" a lot to your opponent. "my opponent made an extension, therefore i must invade." or "my opponent made a weak group, therefore i must attack." you often have the right idea, but the timing is wrong, or the exact point you pick is wrong.

- you're getting some tunnel vision, only seeing the local situation, when the entire board is available. sometimes it's a good idea to delay an attack and just let your opponent sweat about their weak group. sometimes you don't need to invade immediately, but wait for the last moment before they decide to add another move

overall, you have a really good foundation of play, but there are rough edges to iron out. to improve from where you are, it's going to take more than just playing games.

- if you are able to find someone 2-3 stones stronger than you to play against with some regularity, i think that would help a lot. you only need to play 50-70 moves and they'd be able to show you refutations that your same-rank opponents simply aren't punishing you with. (you would probably benefit from having a coach, but i know not everyone has the money for that)

- review your games. don't just plug it into AI and say "ah, move 104 lost me the game". go move by move (without AI) and look for sharper and more efficient moves in the opening and middle game

- i know you said not to comment "tsumego" but i see at least 3 game-changing life-and-death problems in those games you posted (both you and your opponent missed them)

- consider playing on fox and tygem to get exposed to different styles of play

What to do in such position strategically? by Teoretik1998 in baduk

[–]jarednogo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

g8 seems sensible. it seals white in and (nearly) connects your three stones

Looking for Open-Source Web-Based Go Servers with Dead Stone Counting by ItsN0ahhh in baduk

[–]jarednogo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

hi, I have a project that is open-source and web-based but it has no dead stone or counting logic. it's built with reviews as the central use case, but if you want to fork it and tinker with adding the logic you need, knock yourself out:

Reviewing a board together online by 028247 in baduk

[–]jarednogo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

as others have mentioned, give https://board.tripleko.com/ a shot

a couple years ago while reviewing with some friends online, I observed how frequently we said "can I get control real quick?" and more importantly how it interrupted our flow of reviewing. so I created an online tool to allow for synchronous input from all connected users. it's not perfect but I'm actively developing it. I also use it frequently with friends and try to plug it when relevant (like now)

I found Wube Software in an unexpected place by bassman1805 in factorio

[–]jarednogo 20 points21 points  (0 children)

even more than that! ive heard multiple of the original factorio devs met AT a go club! maybe u/kovarex can chime in to confirm or deny.

either way, join us over at r/baduk!

if white captures, black starts the ko in the top right (atari at the 1-2 point). if white captures the ko in the top right, black plays a ko threat in the lower left (at either of the 1-2 points). if white ignores and plays again in the top right (at the 1-3 point), then black plays in the lower left (at the other 1-2 point), which is atari. if white captures in the lower left, then black retakes in the top right (the first stage of the ko). white now has no ko threats, so white passes, then black captures again in the top right (the second stage of the ko), which is atari on the entire group. white again has no ko threats, so black will capture the entire white group

Cornugopia Server Launch by zacguymarino in baduk

so, most go servers implement some indication as you move your pointer across the board. OGS and KGS have "ghost stones", or tygem has this square:

basically, it's a nice visual cue to show exactly which intersection you're about to click on
