Hello Hideki,
Ranked games can have up to 6 stones on KGS. If you want more,
try free games.
I see, thanks for the explanation.
Questions to KGS experts and go server historians:
* Has it ever been this 6-stone limit for rated h-games on KGS?
* If not, what happenend in the past to make it this way?
As far as I can recall, it has always been like this.
I believe that the logic is: estimating my strength from my even, and
low-handicap, games is a reasonable thing to do. Estimating my strength
from high-handicap games is a less reasonable thing to do, a more
accurate estimate can be achieved by ignoring games in which the
handicap given or received exceeds some limit. Six has been arbitrarily
chosen as that limit.
