16k from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I've been playing regularly since fall 2004, and my new goal is to get my mojo back by the end of the year. We'll see. ^^

pH1 GENERAL TAO!

I play at the Toronto Go Club that meets at the 519 on Wednesdays and Sundays. If you're a Quebec or CPAC teen kyu, maybe I met you at Canadian Go Open in September 05. My name's Alex. Let's play again!

Hm. Self-diagnosis:

  • instead of (unsuccessfully) trying to kill weak groups, I need to learn to profit from chasing them.
  • stop making the cursed kyu mistakes. Remember the checklist: do I have any real problem cutting points? Do I have any life problems? These are basic, and if I don't spot these problems then I'm just playing too fast and not thinking. No excuse.
  • remember to think of the direction of play. Also, play away from thickness.
  • get stronger at finding opponent's weak points by improving reading and imagination. Review A&D after Tesuji and Kageyama.

If you've seen me play and you have any tips you'd like to add here, please feel free.


Just a quick thanks to the players who help me so often with reviews and support: Drimgere and Quattro.

Unsuccesfully founded the Wu Tang Clan on Labour Day 2005.

I have been on a major losing streak ever since the Open on the long weekend. It's reached crisis level - almost three weeks in this terrible playing condition. What's going wrong? Not reading/thinking, allowing myself to get agitated again. I'm going to try sitting on my hands again.
