We could play with very slow time settings, maybe 2 or 3 hours per player. Or we could play on DGS. Players can use whatever resources they want, except for other human beings.
I’m on KGS and DGS as “OneTrue.” I’m a 2k on KGS, just registered on DGS.
Want to play a game on DGS? If I win, I’d like you to donate $20 to SIAI.
I’d be interested in a DGS game with the additional condition that each player document which computer resources they are using, either prior to the game or as soon as they start using them. I intend to use Kogo’s Joseki dictionary and the fuseki.info openings database to start with.
I’m using the same handle on KGS and DGS as on LW.
I’ll accept the bet, and request a matching donation to KIPP should I win.
I might use CGoban as well. If we both are, we might as well agree that it’s OK to use its score estimator; though I wouldn’t trust it much until the yose.
Interested onlookers, you can follow the game here. If you want to comment on the game, I would suggest a) using this comment thread and b) rot13ing your observations if they could influence play.
I’m not at all sure at the point we had reached how to estimate who’s in the lead (that can be one of the frustrating mysteries of Go). The CGoban score estimator says B+20-something (I think that overestimates the center) and the GnuGo estimator says W+15 (but doesn’t give a “visual” explanation of its guess).
First: you might be interested in the “Malkovitch” games at GoDiscussions.
LW isn’t the venue for a deeply commented game of Go, but it might be worthwhile for the players in such a game to post here with observations on where they felt the game highlighted this or that aspect of their thinking processes.
OK. I think having both players make such posts would be unnecessary clutter, so how about if we combine both into one post and the winner posts it? :-)
BTW, if you wanted to play, Blueberry, I’ll offer you the same conditions.

OK. I’m planning to use CGoban3 as my SGF editor, and Kogo’s and MasterGo for openings.
I’m sending you an invitation on DGS now. If you don’t like the settings, you can reject the invitation and send me a different one.
Looks like you got Black. Onegaishimasu !

Hey, can you guys offer the game replay for viewing? That would be sweet!
And White wins… on time. :-/
Thanks for the game, it was interesting.

Thanks for the game. In accordance with our bet, I’ll be donating $20 to KIPP.
Would you be willing to write up comments on your moves and how you used the other resources, and make a post of them?
