there was a similar issue a few years ago where a player would say "GG" as an observer before the last move. these were tourney games and deemed unacceptable as this could alert a player that they have a winning move they may or may not see.

i would also say that i dont think watsu and i have ever played a game without discussing strategy. but we were players not observers.

Then there's always the player who comes into the table mid game and says sure win in eight (and is correct). I try to avoid commenting on games in play, but may sometimes be guilty of a gg prior to the last stone being played. Though, not for awhile now, since I've watched very few games lately (aside from the one which prompted this discussion).

Retired from TB Pente, but still playing live games & exploring variants like D, poof and boat
