Hi,
I'm fairly new to Go, been playing only since august 2003.
So far i'm only able to play on the internet (KGS) and in our pub (called Utopia) where we play 9x9 on paper with checkers stones (dont ask how many sets of stones, they're all in a big box).
I live in the Netherlands, in fairly sized village called Drunen.
If you need to know more, ask :)
Lately I've been trying to improve but failing miserably.
I just can't sit still and look/read long enough to figure stuff out. I think i play mostly on instinct.
I prefer games with 5 stones a minute above games with serious timelimits.
Can anybody recommed some techniques or execises to improve concentration?
Please keep in mind that I have both Asperger's Syndrome and ADD.
For some reason I made 19k. I grow more and more suspicous of the KGS rating sytem each day.
Hi, i'm a 27-year old guy from the Netherlands.
