i'm not too sure what the protocol is on this, but it'd
be interesting nonetheless -- the current 'human' KGS
tournament this month is 9x9 -- anyone with a very strong
9x9 player should enter it, if it wouldn't offend anyone (i
can't imagine that it would, since money isn't involved*).

The only way to prevent this is a mandatory pass whenever a pass
is a possible perfect play. When you think about it, you would

opponent and eventually could have passed for free. Had game been under
Japanese rules I would have been 'forced' to think whether reply was
needed and thus think a lot longer time for replies and possibly lost on
time because reply would have been needed probably too often.

I try this during the opening, the middle game, and the
endgame. The only difference is in YOUR perception.

there's a nice rule of thumb that says that you should only
play moves whose outcome results in your opponent playing
*what you think is the best move*. there's simply nothing
more irritating than someon
