Keeping Score
   

Now that I've gotten a handle (sort of) on the whole reading thing, I find myself doing poorly on keeping track of the score in my games (and the ones I watch).

I know keeping score is important; if I'm losing, then I need to invade. So I'm able to get a sense of how moyos work and whatnot; it's the beginning middle game that throws me.

I've been studying the professional games on Jan van der Steen's site [ext] http://gobase.org/analysed/index.html , but when the comments start in at move 100 with "looks like white's ahead by five points," I'm baffled.

I'm sure -- like everything -- this will make more sense with practice. But in the meantime, are there any tips available?

You've already looked at EstimatingTheScore? If not, it's a good place to start. -- TakeNGive

Read PositionalJudgment, a book by Cho Chi-Kun. --Dieter
