Where I Live and PlayMy name is Josh Larson. I am an AGA 2 kyu. I live in Roseville, Minnesota (USA). I began playing Go around August of 2002. I play at the Minneapolis / Saint Paul Go Club I play online at KGS, IGS, DGS, & Dashn as joshual000 I attended the 2004 AGA Go Congress. Some notes from the congress are here Joshual000/2004CongressBlog. Trying to Improve My GameMemorizing Pro GamesCurrently I've found pro game memorization to be useful for improving my play. This seems to work best with a companion to play the moves of the other color. Memorizing games that have additional analysis has been especially useful, as first I memorize the game. Then, I play through (with a companion) and try to imagine possible variations. Often variations I try are mentioned in the analysis. This has been much more rewarding than simply reading the analysis passively. Usually my whole-game retention lasts only a few days. However I generally retain the fuseki for quite a while. This is also especially helpful as I believe most of my games are won/lost in the fuseki. Playing Stronger Fuseki(Clearly I make mistakes throughout the game, but playing a strong fuseki generally induces my opponent to make more mistakes than I do) Reading 'Get Strong' BooksOtherwise I've embarked upon the 'Get Strong' series (not the parodies). Currently working through 'Get Strong at Joseki' & 'Get Strong at the Opening' both borrowed from scotth.
