Through the Years: Long Correspondence

Nothing happened so far, AFAIK.

Would love to get my hands on some of this data as well, not sure if you’re willing to share @Lys or if you got this from a public API.

@moderators

Can you somehow make Lys tournament director of TTY? If you scroll up in this thread there were many voices agreeing to this suggestion and not a single one against iirc. Also Lys already agreed to take up that burden.

Regular readers of this thread, please like my previous post, to give it some weight. :slight_smile:

I’ll add my handicap stones.

AFAIK only @anoek can do that.

And in that case, @Lys should also be made Admin of the Group where the tournament is played:

Thanks, @anoek!

And thanks, @Lys, for caring so much for all of us through such a long time already!


Edited to add commas and a blank line … you wanted to know that, right?

Here’s how Dall-e thinks Lys will look at the end of the tournament.

Can you find the tiny mistake?

These data are available through OGS API.
The only added value is the history of my downloads, which let me trace some charts about the changes happened through time.

Actually I should do some stats about that! :grin:

Anyway, if there’s something you’re interested in, feel free to send me a private message.
The database at the moment is quite bulky, but we could extract some smaller portions.

Thank you and thanks to all the people who asked for that. I appreciate that, I’m flattered. :smiling_face:

Actually I’m planning to become the global dictator. This is just a first step! :grin:

Which reminds me about another crazy tournament made by our beloved S_Alexander, still going on until the end of time and yet missing a TD!
Does someone remember about “nine nine nine”?
999 players for 999 rounds on a 9x9 board.
I’m one of those still playing.
I’d like to propose myself for being TD there too.

I’m also collecting data from that tournament but I didn’t any fancy chart yet.

I’d think there will be a corresponding Group also?

So, I think the best procedure would be to …

  • post both links here,

  • and then to lay down flat in the dust before @anoek with your face down, while we light incense sticks and chant “nine nine nine” (only I will chant “Nein! Nein! Nein!” but no-one will notice, except perhaps for … you know who you are) and then he will tattoo a 9x9 board on your back.

Oh wait, I got carried away …

The nineninenine tournament is here:

I don’t know of a group about it.

Thanks, @jlt, and for @lys and everyone wondering:

If a tournament belongs to a “Group”, the Group can be found on the top right of the tournament page:

Now, let’s see whether it suffices to mention @anoek, otherwise I or someone else should notify him.

The last square. I wonder if the involved players are aware of the situation.
