Enjoy the first ASR game I have reviewed in quite a while but be sure there will be many new following suit. If you play ASR I might just pick your game tomorrow!

First look at the game above and think about the game and possible mistakes and good moves. After that download the commented SGF and compare your thoughts with mine. Questions, suggestions and corrections you can leave in the comments of this post!

Public lecture in April

I will be doing a public lecture for the Advanced Study Room on KGS at the beginning of april after my exams in Chinese are over. The topic is chosen by the people and voting is going on currently. So take your chance and suggest and vote for what you want to see.

http://www.lifein19x19.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=3382

On a side-note: It seems I might be going to Japan for a year next year in Spring.

ASR set 1 - 21.01.11

A set of problems I made for the Advanced study room's super class players. The top two problems are white to play and about 3-4dan level. The lower left is black to play and 6d level and the lower right is black to play at about 7dan level. Good luck! You can leave solutions as a comment below. I'll check them.

ASR League and it's new superclass

I have been watching ASR league back from when it started with usagi creating it back a few years. I saw it going up and down a few times. I even won the ASR blitz ladder for a few consecutive months. But up to now these last months have been the most succesful months ASR ever had. If you do not know them check them out. http://www.stalkor.nl/ASR/

"

The reason

I’ve been running the league in the new structure since June 2010 and to be honest I didn’t expect it to be such a huge success. In 5 months the classes settled and the result is we now have extremely active Alpha and Beta layers! As always systems are not perfect so we have some criticism as to how we can improve but I’m not going to talk about that now.

What I want to talk about is internet go. When I talk to people about internet go they always treat it as a phenomenon, internet go is not serious, internet go is only blitz, its not like going to a club and playing a real game of go. These are all reasons not to play go a lot online. So what is a good reason to play online? Why would you get on KGS to actually play a game? If you just play a game online, do you feel satisfied after the game and do you want to play again soon? All in all online go feels empty and meaningless. I think that is why blitz is popular in internet go, because if you blitz you can shove away the reason to think and just play.

I think the league fills that void. By giving a meaning to your game and having results against other players count for something you finally get a reason to play online. I think KGS is a great place, it has a good community, but it can’t give you a good reason to play.

The future of internet go is bright when people start to treat internet go as a real game of go and not just some distraction.

For the future of the league I think the path is laid out as we pioneer ourselves to great heights. In a year I think we will see an increase in activity and players. The superclass project hopefully takes off like a rocket and also the ASR school, which is still work in progress, will get this community all its resources it needs to get the ASR functioning like a perfectly oiled machine in which everyone can play, study, and learn from eachother."
