What's your boardz handle? You're going to get some challenges in 5x5 shogi and go from me :D

i dont know how to play shogi though.... so easy wins for you


haha, boardz is the reason I learned! I've been getting clobbered by Ludwig (another go player--not sure if he's on L19 yet or not) for the last couple of months :lol:

Don't forget watching go video lectures while on the bus, or playing against the computer. Only have WiFi on my smartdevice, so I can't play online while moving.

When you consider buying an iphone (or other smartdevice) just to be able to note down go games.

Now I'm considering an android for kgs. ;)

You're basically addicted to Go when it distracts you from the mindless web surfing that used to distract you from everything else.

(This thread is too great for page 4 of the forum!)

When you get a new computer and the first thing you do is install Go software.

Whenever I start to watch a movie which is related with go, I couldn't finish it, because I start to play a game.

You know you're addicted to go when you play chess and ponder on how to keep sente.

A lot of Go concepts transfer to chess! Keeping sente is similar to keeping the initiative, which is indeed important in chess.

I found Go's concept of "good shape" (minimal, flexible, and strong configurations of pieces) to be really useful in my chess games.

I dream about tsumego sometimes and if I give someone a coin(or other small round objects), I "play" it into their hands like a stone.. Nothing else, I think

Actually, if you put the cgoban file on a jump drive and put it in the computer, it bypasses that step of going to the site completely. Was pretty nifty for me back in high school, since they blocked a lot of sites. Just pop stuff on the jump drive that you would download normally.



Anyway, I knew I was addicted to Go when I stopped playing for the night, and when I lay down and close my eyes, all I see is middlegame fights breaking out. Being played out in my head.

You practice the following time tesujis, with the hope of one day mastering them:

1) Waking up early in the morning means you can sneak in a quick game of go.
2) Skipping dinner frees up enough time to squeeze in one more game of go.
3) Playing go to exhaustion means you can spend the rest of your night enjoying Go audio lectures (which is slightly less taxing).
4) If we manage all of the above in a single day, then we can look forward to dreaming about Go.

:D

You may not be go addicted when you look into your math lecture notes and constantly read (aij) as aji:

But if you feel relieved when you finally realize that aij is aji, you're probably slightly addicted:

When you are in a shop you put a coin before the salesman exactly the same way you would put a go stone(leading to strange look from just about everyone).

On saturday morning my girlfriend woke me up with a confused look in her face asking what I had dreamed and what kind of weapon an ogeima would be.
At first I was puzzled but after she told me that I had talked about 'ogeima is the killing thing' I remembered a strange go-dream that night ;)
