database of rated/pro games

dohduh...@yahoo.com (sobriquet) — Tue, 12 Dec 2009 21:47:20 UT

Hello.
Lately, I've tried Drago with a collection of over 40,000 pro games,
and it's nice to search for patterns in such a big collection of
games.
Does anyone else have a large collection of pro or rated games to
share (e.g. via bittorrent or rapidshare) or know of other collections
of games (preferably .sgf files) that can be downloaded somewhere?

Approaching a Definition of Ko

jas...@snafu.de (Robert Jasiek) — Mon, 12 Dec 2009 22:55:29 UT

general definition of kos consisting of any number of intersections so

What the CAS Decision on Claudia Pechstein Means for Go

jas...@snafu.de (Robert Jasiek) — Thu, 11 Nov 2009 12:52:23 UT

CAS, the highest sports-internal international court, has judged ice
sprinterin Claudia Pechstein to be guilty of doping by means of
circumstancial evidence (too high values of retikulocytes, i.e. young
red blood particles said to be related to EPO, in her blood) only.
This is CAS's first such judgement. Since CAS has its seat in

In version 6 of Types of Basic Ko, the definitions of Active /

"two-eye-formation" for every occurrence of "uncapturable life". This
has become necessary to explain shapes like quintuple ko well. Now it
does not suffice any longer to connect the considered ko's stone to
