Hello Friends :)

Whilst poring over rating and rulesystems I encountered a footnote pertaining to 'weiqi', a hitherto unknown term. My incipient interest was cursory, but after gathering further information it solidified within a matter of days. Weiqi seemed to be a very deep yet at the same time simple and elegant game. In short: "A masterpiece of Game Design."

Thusly intrigued I studied some rule variants and began playing weiqi with my partner.

Though I do not care for my rank, I have a profound respect for rating systems as they are essential for even and thus more beautiful games.

Nor do I aspire to become amateur shodan, for I rather spend my time enjoying weiqi instead of worrying about prestige.

Regarding the rulesets I favour WMSG with the following preferences:

• Equivalence Scoring and Ikeda's Rule
• proper handicap with free placement
• fair komi
