Schattenstern
PageType: HomePage    

Schattenstern? Who’s Schattenstern? Well, just a girl that had started to play Go after watching to much episodes of Hikaru no Go. In fact my first comment after the first episode was "I want to plaaayyy!"

However, I come from Germany, I’m 18 years old and I’m not very good at go - I don’t even know my rating. Well, I’m playing at the KGS as "Moonlil" (Schattenstern was a few letters to long -.-), but I haven’t played any rated games yet. Think I’m about 27 kyu or something like this. Oh, and my real name is Sabrina, but I don't really like it.

I started to watch Hikaru no Go at the end of 2002 and played a bit of Go against my computer, but I wasn’t very serious about it then. I don’t know if I’m now, but I want to improve my skills and play ^^’

However, I just stumbled into Sensei’s Library, but I like it a lot even now. What else do I have to say? Oh, yes, for those who don’t understand german, and that will be most of you: "Schattenstern" is German and means "Shadowstar" - it’s my internet-name for three years now and I simply love it ^^


So... just some more problems on my way. I've read a book with a lot of Go-problems now (and solved most of them) and feel a bit more confident, but still I don't really know what to to next. Of course I'm playing some games - online, with a friend and against my computer - but I'm a bit, let's say, confused. If anyone has an idea what I could do next I'd be happy to hear it ^_^

AndreasTeckentrup: Just play lots of games against other beginners AND against stronger players, and maybe let stronger players comment them. Maybe read some commented games from the go teaching ladder. Start reading other go books when youre about 15 kyu, i especially recommend teachings in the fundamentals of go by kageyama.

If solving Go problems makes you more confident, then go to www.goproblems.com to get a lot more of them. However, there are other good ways to learn other than playing. Reading up on SL, (of course ;)), studying from www.gobase.org, and reading strategy guides from [ext] http://home.san.rr.com/rafgo/go.html . ^_^ Hope that helps, good luck!

Schattenstern Both of you, thank you very much! I'm allready playing both, stronger and weaker players (yes, they are some ^^), as well as players around my own rank. Doing this (and solving more problems) can't be wrong ^.~
