I remember when @Kosh launched the Ladder Legend 9x9 tournament starting January 31, 2019, featuring guest commentary by me.

Hmm, we missed the birth of the two youngest servers, the Variant Go Server and the Color Go Server.
I did reference the former, at least.

Yeah I too tried to get CGS in and missed the opportunity. Thatās one of the reasons I proposed the alternative game/rules 
.
I remember when Shin Jinseo became World #1. I think he overtook Ke Jie, but Park Jungwan might have been the one in the position at the time.
Since I donāt know exactly when it happened, letās use the date of this Nick Sibicky lecture, which was posted on 11th December 2018.
Shin Minjun reached the front of the pack a little later, completing what might be called the āBig Fourā of current professional Go.
Ah, in 2020 we missed spicydragon spicydragon achieving a thousand simultaneous correspondence games.
Letās make sure we donāt miss the first professionalāprofessional game played on OGS, though Iām not sure exactly when it was. We probably missed some Europro milestones already~

It was December 2018 actually 
The positive thing is that most of the issues mentioned in that topic have been improved upon. (still no universal hyperlinked table of contents though)
I remember that around November 2018 I had found Yunxuan Liās channel which had some amazing real board videos, that have since, sadly, been wiped clean 
That was an awesome Go channel.

I remember when I got 77 likes for telling trigger-happy reporters to knock it off.

The humble rank idea really was a gift of the gods.
Game ID 15,000,000 was generated in October 2018, but it was an annulled game so not worth citing. And itās not like I remember noting the ID at the time anyway.
I think the first version of Lizzie came out in that month, but it might have been earlier.

Oops. Letās not jump with thatā¦
Also, September saw Nick Sibicky end his six-part My Robot Overlord series, which introduced his controversial habit of referring to Go programs as ārobotsā.
But I donāt remember that series, so I canāt cite it.
That reminded me of Nick Sibickyās existential crisis, Jun 29, 2017

I remember the Go Creatorās Invitational, a tournament of streamers and youtubers held here in May 2018. I think there was an also an edition held in 2015; I wasnāt around at that time.
The jump feels a bit large but I tried my best. Yoonyoungās video was published on the 21st.

Not sure where to post this, but I only just realised that Pachi is a real bot.
I thought it was a character invented for The Empty Triangle ^^
Creatorās comments: In the time Iāve been occupied chiefly outside of the world of Go, it seems a veritable revolution has taken place in the area of computer Go
I wonder if there is a followup to this game called āIāve heard about whenā¦ā

I remember when Iyama Yuta became the first player to hold all seven major Japanese titles simultaneously. I donāt remember when exactly that was, except 2017, so weāll treat this as being at the same time as your post.
That was, by the way, the only year so far in which heās held all seven.
