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). 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.
