The important thing is that you are improving. There is a path forward. Focus on that
The kind people of the OGS forum will always be here to listen and respond to your all questions with patience and wisdom no matter what. You should take advantage of that..!!
I picked a random game of yours that you played before you made that comment.
In that very game you made 90 moves in total. For 52 of these 90 moves you “thought” for less than one second.
Claiming you’re experimenting with strategies while playing sub-second moves is disingenuous.
why are you worried about time all the time – i look at the board for a couple of minutes, then go to the page the board is on and place my move - then move on – why they constant birchy about me spending time on the board pondering what i can quickly see is my next saving move – cause that all i can do is save the stones that are in danger — enough all ready with teh time –

You repeatedly talk about how bad your games are going and one surefire way to improve is to think before you move.
Importantly, we are glad that you’re enjoying your GO experience, evidenced by how much you engage within the forum and in the volume of played games. Keep it up!!
you do know that you look at your game and not engage the clock then when you are sure you click on the game the regular way and the clock begins so thats what i do - yes i make many many bad moves but not because ism rushed – well maybe once in a while that is the reason - but mostly just bad planning on my part - with not stratergy plan i can find too show me the best 15 moves to make – i make i agree mostly bad ones - but its not because of rushing time most times
What are you talking about?
As soon as your opponent has made their move, your clock starts ticking. And in the game I linked above, in 52 out of 90 cases you are spending less than one second to respond to the move your opponent just made.
You persist in pretending to play Go while displaying neither curiosity about the real rules nor any inclination to engage the grey matter between your ears. It’s a fascinating performance: all the gestures of participation with none of the burdens of comprehension.
Your clock counts down on your turn whether you’re looking at your game or not.
The majority of your games are correspondence. You should be going into analyse mode to play out a next few moves on the board to see where they lead before actually playing the move. That will teach you a lot about what’s playable in the position.
If you don’t start doing this it would be obvious that you are trolling us
Here a screenshot from the game you are playing
(Random moves, nobody judge my shape)
in this game i think iam doing well to place my stones contrarey to his stones and getting area controlled – iam missing something here and not one stone was thrown down i thought about each stone placed -
I’m not criticism the game itself. I’m suggesting that you take the time in analyze mode to play out certain sequences before committing to the move
how do you see how much time was spent per move? i guessed you subtracted time between two of his comments with timestamps and move numbers but I don’t see where you got the numbers 52 or 90.
You can see the timestamps in the web socket data. It’s not generally visible without inspecting the network traffic.
There’s also this:
The simplest way to see the move times is to take the URL https://online-go.com/api/v1/games/ and append the game number, which is 84897915 for the game I was referring to.
You end up with this link, which gives you the game data in JSON format.
In there you will find a “moves” section that contains all the moves including the time spent for each move in milliseconds.
Black spent 2.849 seconds for their first move.
From what we have seen from @dokbohm so far, we can safely assume that he won’t start doing this.
However, there are other possibilities besides trolling. He might be dealing with a neurological condition that makes it difficult for him to engage in analytical thinking.
And of course there’s also the not-so-remote possibility that @dokbohm is simply an AI project created by a computer science student.
Yeah, that’s it !!!- I am a 76-year-old computer student who is running an AI experiment, and has mental issues ---- good call — has a lot to do with the gameof go i guess
I’m torn between Occam’s and Hanlon’s razors here.
Though I could entertain the AI science student idea if it was done in collaboration with some type of sociology thesis..
it has to do with a doctoral degree and when applying to n.a.s.a for space program at 75 years and up catagory for the next manned mars launch
Exactly what a GO playing sociological AI chatbot would say..
But dokbohm doesn’t play Go. He is on this server and plays his own game, not Go.
