Here is how I play:
- ) I prefer slow games, Japanese Byoyomi, 5 min total + 2-3 min per stone
- ) I enjoy teaching and will often teach 16-20k in Straw Hut. (While i am teaching and you are watching, please do not talk! This distracts me very much and takes away from student-teacher experience). I usually will check "quiet" box, but if i forget, see above.
- ) Most enjoyable games i played were with Cheyenne, Lirm, zytta, cht, saswiz, quietman , brian85, angelo and many many others.
Clever and funny quotes about the game:
braincrash [2k?]: If you feel you have to invade, it means you did something wrong earlier.
JohnSmith?:взаимныe уступки - залог доверительных отнoшений в дальнейшем...
JohnSmith?: не время решать задачи на жизнь смерть
