Re: Turn timer seems generous

1:10 per move at faster settings are often not enough, especially in the late game with more calculation and effects.
So it can be cut, if you want lighning game. But medium and longer settings are supposed to stay as they are for other people.

Re: Potential improvements to the game

Yeah, that's the right clue. Let's see if this game deserves time of the developers.

Re: Who gets the handicap

That's a tough question.

But you can first play even another game or two. If you win each time, than it's ok. Cause even dan players, especially who love to fight, can end up having +20 pts to one side and to another in every pair of games.

Re: 19x19 warning for beginners

... I've been avoiding bga for Go for the same reason as Chess (Engine/Matchmaking/etc..). But I'm curious how's BGA's Go rating pool? my rating is around ~16 Kyu on OGS. I haven't observed here cheaters also. I've seen quite strong dan players, also 7 dan from Taiwan and 6 dan from Belgium, who pl...

19x19 warning for beginners

I've seen many times people open a 19x19 Go board, having their rating shown as novice. I've seen also many times different people tried Go 1 or several games and thrown it away. This leads me to a Warning while opening a board for novice players, that gives them advice to try 9x9 board first, if th...

Re: Update the komi to modern standards

It's very strange that the devs put the AGA button into the settings, leaving the rules to be Japanese or Chinese actually.
So it 's not quite correct to say that the rules are AGA here.

Re: Dwarves Great Tunnel - bonus spades?

You get no bonus spades from the very Great Tunnel. It lets you use bonus Cult spades, which you get after rounds, to dig some hexes not adjacent to you, but skipping 1 hex. As if you were some faction with navigation 1 and dig across a river. These cult spades can be used in a distance from any str...

Re: Timers for real time games

There is also a different type of time control in Go, which is called Canadian byo-yomi (although the last word is Japanese) There is a time period of time in which you have to make a number of moves, let's say 5 minutes/15 moves. It lets you use your time more flexible and spare some time when you ...
