Touching the stones too much
Path: BadHabits   · Prev: TooMuchThinking   · Next: WatchTheGameOnTheTableNextToYours
   

Kungfu: While visiting a certain local Go club, there was a man playing a game of go. He had the annoying habit of playing a stone, and then touching around 5 to 7 stones nearby to "adjust them". I can understand and accept the need to fix the position of the occasional stone, however, this was excessive enough to be annoying. Please don't do this in real life.

Alex Weldon: Please feel free to touch the stones on your computer screen all you want. ;-)

phenomene: Dear opponent, if you don't want me to adjust the stones too much, please put them in the right place to begin with. :-) Yes, I have this bad habit, but some players never put their stones on the right point. After a while, the position becomes unreadable.

Jim Kiraly: I once played an opponent who would slide his stones into position as if playing shuffle board. Just kind of push them, unguided, two or three space across the board whenever making a move. As long as the stone was relatively close to position it was intended for, he would just leave it. More often than not I would have to ask him where the stone was meant to be played and place it there for him. I'd much prefer to play a stone toucher, than a stone slider! :-)
