Icepick
PageType: HomePage    

I play on KGS as Icepick. I'm currently rated around 9k, and making slow progress.

I'm fortunate that I'm able play and learn in person with the TwinCitiesGoClub.

My tartrate number is 4: tartrate - Zerokun - JVD - yugidragon - Icepick

My Shusaku number is 6 Shusaku - Iwasaki Kenzo - Honinbo Shusai - Iwamoto Kaoru - James Kerwin - Dave R - Icepick.

Major milestones:

4-1-3 -- I beat a 1d+ with a 9 stone handicap for the first time. Very happy about that.

9-11-3 -- One year of playing on the KGS server. 11k

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.

Mdobbins: Try Dragon Go Server. I use it because my time comes in small pieces.

Thank you for the suggestion., I hadn't thought of that.
