Reflame

PageType: HomePage    

Hello,

Im am Pavel Jelínek, Prague, Czech Republic

Email: pjel@centrum.cz

Please, if I unintentionally break any Etiquette or any rules, tell me.


My KGS userid is also Reflame. After a long stagnation around 16kyu I wished a fast progress and my wish was fulfilled, when KGS shifted ratings in September 2006, so I was 10 kyu :-)))))

In January 2007 I started to take some medicaments and my ability of concentration dropped and my strength stagnates.


As for my playing style:

- I know the proverb "when in doubt, tenuki", and I obey it. But because I am almost always in doubt, I often tenuki when I should not.

- I love the proverb "the best ko-threats and ladder-breakers are those that your oponnent will believe that they will work" - but unfortunately, this style never works with oponnents above 22 kyu.

- I laughed very much when I read the page about "would not it be nice" style. I laughed for many months. But then I wept, when I suddenly realized that I play this way very much.

- during a ko fight, I never see whether I am a ko-master. All I can see is that I am not a go-master.

- when I see a group, I do not know whether it is alive, dead or whether it is "ko" - all I know is that it is "go".

- I heard that strange things happen at the 1-2 point, but (in my view) strange things happen everywhere (my groups that seemed perfectly alive are dying etc.)

- I heard that professionals play lightly, willing to sacrifice some stones. Well, in this sense, I play extremely lightly (not quite voluntarily).


People, how do you watch replies to your comments? Is regular looking to 'recent changes' page the only way?

Phelan: Yes, regularly looking at Recent Changes is the only way, although you can make it easier by registering your UserName at UserPreferences. That way, you can have a list of WatchedPages that appear in Recent Changes highlighted in a different color.
