Given how many people report that KGS ratings become unresponsive over time, I'm probably better off if I let that account stay unrated long enough that I lose the rating. (By the way, it seems to have taken 2 weeks of Free play to lose the rating. I don't know whether my games before the layoff would count when determining my new rating, though.) Old thought for the dayInstead of beating up on myself for playing too fast, I've decided I should just stop playing slow games (my usual time settings are 25:00 + 5 * 1:00 periods). I'll probably enjoy it more. So I just turned off my rating on KGS (since I don't play fast games rated) and now only play 1:00 + 5 * 0:10 games. Sure, Bad Habits are bad, but I'm no longer going to allow myself to get frustrated at having them. I haven't put in any study of the game in months anyway (unless you count clicking through a few professional title games once in a while, or reading a little bit on here), so worrying about playing too quickly is stupid.
