Hu of KGS
PageType: HomePage    

Go is elegantly simple and deeply beautiful.

You may find me on KGS as user "Hu", 10k-9k (2002-11-15).

KGS is a friendly server with the greatest user interface, especially for teaching and reviewing (my opinion).


Messages can be left among Hu's messages.


Some Sensei's Library pages that I think deserve higher recognition and more references:


The following information is an expanded version of my user information at KGS.

I like to play players of many ranks, games of the odd sizes listed below and, Japanese rules (but I like Chinese for the Handicaps because you can place them anywhere). I greatly prefer byo-yomi according to the plan below, though I sometimes adjust it for slower or faster play. I don't play blitz because I like Go games like gourmet meals and not like inhaling fast food.

I like all odd sizes with these time settings for N x N games for gently rising time pressure:

  N    %    Main   Byo    Num
     Area   Time  period  Byos
  7   14    2:00    :15    3  Minimum undecided game.
  9   22    4:00    :15    4  Quarter size
 11   34    6:00    :20    4
 13   47    9:00    :24    5  Half size
 15   62   12:00    :30    5  Popular 1000 years
 17   80   18:00    :30    6  Popular 500 years, Tibetan
 19  100   24:00    :40    6
 21  122   30:00    :40    7  21st century Go
 23  147   38:00    :48    7
 25  173   48:00    :50    8  Hoshi like 19x19
 27  202   60:00   1:00    8  Double size

The time settings are calculated from powers that are multiples of the reciprocal of the golden ratio. Main Time = N ^ 4r seconds, Byo Period = N ^ 2r sec, Num Byos ~= N ^ r, if r = 1/1.618 = 0.618.

Please wait in case I need to reconnect. Sometimes I may be as long as 10 minutes if I have to do a full reboot and relogin. Undos are discouraged but allowed in free games. Hit the Undo button immediately for misclicks in rated games.

Peace.
