Hi, I like to play go.
I used to play on IGS, but now I play on KGS. I was 4k* when I moved on to KGS. I'm 1d right now (snappy171). My AGA rating is 2.42346.
In early December (of 2003), I was getting really frustrated with losing to 3k's on kgs all the time. I would get bored and distracted when people took so long to make their moves, and eventually would make a careless move (or 3 (or 10)) and eventually the 3k would punish me and beat me. I knew I was better than 3k ... I could hold my own at the club with people that claimed they were 2d AGA (and take 2 stones from the 4d). It was time to do something about losing to all these 3k's. I started playing blitz. I won 5 in a row at about 3 AM, and I've been playing blitz ever since. I no longer have enough time to get bored or distracted, and most importantly, I find fast games to be a ton of fun. Since December of last year, my rank has steadily increased (I'm 1d now), and I feel like I'm playing better at the club as well. I think that blitz go has really helped my game.
It has recently been brought to my attention that IGS has deleted my account. I had over 1500 games played and I've accessed it within the past 3 months. Basically, I think those IGS people are mean.
Have fun and don't listen to BlueWyvern.
Deebster: After your 'recommendation', I watched Meet the Feebles. I can certainly see how being reminded of that would be distracting!
