Move 1

[21:23] random_walk[6k]: Hi, you too

Move 98

[21:40] buzzsaw[8k]: I am a little confused about the fact that I put up an offer with auto handicap and you are 6k and there was no handicap.

Move 99

[21:40] buzzsaw[8k]: Also I put up 30 minutes of basic time

Move 103

[21:41] random_walk[6k]: I am not really 6k:)

Move 108

[21:42] buzzsaw[8k]: yeah but your rank says 6k

Move 114

[21:43] random_walk[6k]: vert recently some players made more mistakes and bumped me from 8k to 6k

[21:43] random_walk[6k]: I feel more comfortable at 8k:)

[21:43] buzzsaw[8k]: well you caught the mistakes

[21:44] buzzsaw[8k]: what i am questioning is the way the matching works.

[21:44] random_walk[6k]: No komi, that is the difference.

[21:44] buzzsaw[8k]: no komi is just for one rank differnce

[21:44] buzzsaw[8k]: not two

Move 126

[21:47] buzzsaw[8k]: That also does not explain why there is not 30 minutes of time.

[22:10] buzzsaw[7k]: and all other seniors
