Good luck to-morrow Maria in the tourney. I have found that 'internet server' ranks fluctuate much more than national ranks as people play games on the web with a variety of attitudes and moods. Hence I would enter tournaments at my BGA rank. Having said that, I have also observed that server based ranks seem stronger than the national versions. See http://kgs.goclub.info as an example.
Go is an Asian board game, over 2000 years old. The rules of the game are simple, as are the elements. Lines and circles, black and white, wood and stone. Two players, black and white, take turns playing on the board. The game is played on the intersections of the lines, and stones do not move once placed on the board. The goal of the game is to control the most territory. Though the rules are so simple, strategy is immensely complex. However, this game is incredibly versatile. It can be relentlessly violent, or surprisingly peaceful.
This blog chronicles my forays into the game, and my goal of reaching shodan (one dan).
