I have to deal with unreasonable KGS users all day long. They argue about totally insane things ad infinitum. I try to be patient and understanding, as far as it’s possible. I am even trying to be nice to people who complain about escapers.
I got used to KGS users being unreasonable, but I at least […]

“What took you so long?”
Yes, I’ve returned from LSG a week ago. But I spent all my time either at work or creating the photogallery (I made over 800 pictures but my memory card got full so I had to delete the bad ones, I returned with over 650 pictures and the gallery is 187, […]

As I was planning my journey to Krakow and there was only one reasonable train to take, I worked overtime during the week so that I could leave work earlier on Friday. Well, the train was delayed, so I wouldn’t be able to catch the following train, which meant there was basically no way to […]

Fear not – this post is not gonna be in German.
I left work early on Friday and headed for the Student Agency bus. The movie Corpse Bride was pretty good and before I knew it, I was in Vienna, just few hundred meters from the famous Prater. Buying a “Stadtplan” was an ordeal, but I […]

After a more or less forced break last year, I didn’t think I’d play the championship this year either. I played just one qualification tournament, and I messed it up. But somehow, many people couldn’t (or didn’t want to) play, so I ended up playing.
First two rounds were reasonably easy wins, but the third round […]

I am getting pretty sick of KGS. It’s been bothering me for several months already.
Most admins don’t care about the users at all. What’s worse, I’m starting to be like that too. I simply follow the rules: “leave me alone, we don’t deal with escapers, the system does it automatically”. Which is true only partially. […]

While I didn’t have any spectacular results recently, my results were stable and I reached my all time high GoR of 2454 (I came close to 2450 several times but never actually reached it).
What a pity I don’t live in Poland, I could already boast (undeserved) 5d rank.
To sum up my go career so […]

I started the trip in Warsaw, where I came to participate in a tournament. I played against Seok-bin in the first round, and only lost by 7 points, which is probably my biggest go-achievement as of yet In next two rounds I have beaten two 4d, and after that I lost to a 2d […]

Empty Triangle is a great go comics by chidori.
My personal favorites are number 4 (I love it), 6 (how very true), 7 (touching), 8 (love the facial expression), 10 (hey, it’s actually me), 14 (the art in there is just great).
In my humble opinion, Empty Triangle beats all the other go comics (and I’ve seen […]

KGS was founded in 2000 by William Shubert.
The first Czech on KGS was probably makov (registered on 3.9.2000).
I registered on 2.12.2001, I’m not sure how I got to know KGS, but I think I was told by makov.
I have no idea when I founded “Český pokoj” (the Czech room). It was probably later than in […]
