Icepick
PageType: HomePage
I play on KGS as Icepick. I'm currently rated around 16k, and attempting to make progress. I'm fortunate that I'm able play and learn in person with the TwinCitiesGoClub. Major milestone: I beat a 1d+ with a 9 stone handicap for the first time on 4-1-3. Very happy about that.
You can reach me at icepick@netfamine.com or visit my homepage at Books completed, in order:
Learn to Play Go Series In progress: So far, all have been pretty good. I found the Learn to Play Go series a little content light, but a good introduction to many topics. I think that Tesuji has improved me the most, simply because it forced me to improve my reading ability. I think I read too much, and play too little. Unfortunately, my free time tends to come in small pieces, which makes reading easier than playing. mAsterdam: Excellent idea, Endgame Reckoner! Here are some remarks, though. I moved them from there. I also moved some examples to Common mistakes in Yose. I hope you don't mind. Charles ... Please take more care about posting misleading material. Tristan I think the basic idea is a good one and, to be fair to him, the author did not make mistakes on purpose. Also, it should be a given that postings here are treated with caution, since none of us is a pro. Please would you or somebody else correct the material? Thanks in advance. Charles I'm sympathetic to any question of any level posted as such. We have the BQM forum for that; we have a question keyword for that. Icepick Obviously, I had no intention of purposely creating misleading information. My goal was to create a quick list of endgame plays that I see often, along with their sizes and gote/sente relationship. I thought that others might benifit from this list as well. I don't think that the BQM forum was the correct place for this topic, as I really didn't ask any questions. In addition, I qualified my comments as being somewhat uncertain. Charles Well, we do seem to have gone to about 35 versions of the page already, trying to deal with the issues. Discussion is good. Discussion trying to remove question marks, 'Help' comments and uncertainties ... well, to me, that is better done if the questions are more clearly posed. The comment about care is a standard one for anyone editing an SL page. I think it means it when it says Your careful attention to detail is much appreciated.
