I've been interested in trying out GO. So I'll run through a tutorial, and try to jump in to some games on KGS.

[Osmosis Jones]

Good man, current bay12ers on there include myself (arneb), eduren, de5me7, jampet & tima, so add us to your buddy list, and be sure to give us a holler.

[Kvasir]

Ok, I've added all of you. I'm finding the lack of structure kind of intimidating so far, but hopefully I'll get comfortable soon and have some satisfying games.

[TimA]

I added everyone too.  I also find it rather intimidating, but the few games I have played in the past I have found simply fascinating.

Might try and play a game or two this evening.

Waitwaitwait there are other Bay 12ers playing Go??

What kind of grades are you?  I'm somewhere around 15 kyu (13 on a good day).  I did win the Under 12s British Championship once (and then someone about twice as good as me flattened me in the next year.  Bah).  The way I test my kyu is by playing my instructor with varying handicaps (argh, I beat him on 5 stones once...).

My name on KGS is Leafsnail.  Bear in mind that, in a handicap game, I play ridiculously aggressively.

Oh, hey Leafy.

I'm currently 15kyu. But since I only started playing a few weeks ago, that could probably be changing. Name on KGS is Eduren, add me.

[Leafsnail]

Cool.

I could probably play a quickish 9x9 roundabout now.  I've got some tournament games scheduled for this week, could do with the practise .

[Eduren]

Hrmmm.

I asked a moderator about the room, but he says that they need someone that has been registered for 3 months. Anybody here fit that?

[Leafsnail]

I've been registered that long, but haven't played many games.  I could have a look.

[RedWarrior0]

Just registered as RedTheRed, though I'll be on later.

[Virroken]

Ex-1 dan here. Probably like 10kyu right now. When does everyone usually play?

[qwertyuiopas]

I registered as Uristqwrty (Qwertyuiopas was far too long, backup name of Uristqwerty was one character too long still...)

[Osmosis Jones]

Virroken, I can't speak for everyone else, but I'm in Australia, which usually means I'm playing at around 2 a.m. American time. That said, I've managed to get a couple of games in by staying up past midnight :p

[Osmosis Jones]

Also, I give you the ultimate tactic, the Nuclear Tesuji.

[Eduren]

Sadly, that technique can't be used over the internet.
