Hey nonny Ho nonny My name is Andrew Denton. Updated rank information[1]. I am here to learn, mostly by listening and observing, also by asking some questions. I hope to "pay it forward" someday by helping others, but I am too weak a player to do so now. As bad as I am at all aspects of the game, I am particularly weak at local fighting and can be counted on to lose these through misreading or more probably nonreading. I extend when I should have haned, hane when I should have extended, fill liberties when I shouldn't, fail to fill liberties when I should and so on. It's not that I don't try, either. I have read and re-read some two dozen books. I can understand the concepts but seem unable to apply them or recognize when they should be applied. I am not afraid to play games and lose--I love the game too much for that. I am, however, frequently embarrassed by my play and this has the effect of making me shy away from playing more than one game per week if that. Does this ever happen to anyone else?
Also, as bad as I am at the game, as I said, I love it, just as I am sure all of you do. I would absolutely love to play a game here, such as BlueWyvern is playing with some of you, in which I could tell you my thinking for each move and you could show me the errors of my ways. In any event, SL is an amazing resource peopled with amazing people.
Great, Jan! Would you like to set up a page for the game?
