It all started by me stumbling upon a text file containing all Igo Hatsuyo-ron problems. Well, as you can see the format is not so great and encoding is obscure (GB2312). I used vim to transfer this garbage into something reasonable.
Now if you don’t know what regular expressions are, read on, if you do know, […]

Wesnoth, Freeciv, Simutrans, Fillets, Tuxracer, Liquidwar, Angband/Nethack, Racer, Cube, Wolf ET… I thought there was nothing that could surprise me in the word of linux gaming.
The other day I found GL-117, a perfect action flight simulator. It’s very easy to pilot the plane, there’s a lot of action, and the best thing is that […]

I went to the tearoom to play go the other day and one very talented and promising 7kyu (he’s been playing for half a year I think, that’s a very good result) asked me to play an even game with him… I offered him a handicap, and he declined, saying that he wanted to “see […]

Now you might think that I’m just slacking off, but actually it is not so…
I spent a busy week in Bratislava, playing two go tournaments.
The first tournament was European Team Go Championship, where the Czech team placed second, just behind the ultrastrong Romanians. Third place was taken by Hungarians, who were about same strength as […]

Set is a wonderful game. Read the official rules, then download TatSet (it’s Dutch, but you’ll get used to it).
I got only 1800 so far (just a very few games, didn’t have much time yet), I am sure you can beat it (feel free to brag in the commentaries :licknose:).
PS: I forgot to mention: it […]

Okay, this will be boring:
First there was Toyota Tour in Brno, where I scored 3/6 but only lost to 6dan players (and two of the games already looked rather good for me…), somehow ended up winning “best 4dan”.
After one day break there was ESGC (European Students’ Go Championship), a six round tournament where I started […]

My name is David and you also may know as Master001. But now I am Sempai001 because I am goint to be superior over anyone who stands in my way until i get to a better level. I love go and if anyone ruins or disrespects the game they should be ashamed of themselves. Anyways […]

The Littlegolem’s disk crashed.
The owner’s notebook with backups from last week… crashed…
So the last backup is from May… sigh…
I have to play some games (that I already won) for one more time, and a lot of games have been lost due to the crash. The positive thing is that they arranged […]

I’ve just returned from LSG, saying it was great would be an underestimation. If I have to decide between LSG and EGC I definitely choose LSG.
Przystanek Alaska is great, the lake is great, weather was great, beer was great, parties were great, but most of all – the people were great.
Thanks to everyone – kabu, […]
