Grand Yan

PageType: HomePage    

Greetings,


I live in Jakarta, Indonesia.

I am a member of the Wings Go Club, and formerly, the Sabaki Go Club.


Currently 1d (due to rank shifts) on KGS (as GrandYan) and 1k on IGS (also as GrandYan). My alternate KGS account is Worthless. At one stage, I had over 5 KGS accounts, but I've now come to my senses, and maintain only 2.

I've changed my playing style various times over the course of my Go 'career'. Currently, I'm trying to use a solid, defensive style of play...The problem with it is that I often get emotional and start attacking; that's when I end up dead.

I've found that an agressive style doesn't suit me at all, as, more often than not, I'm the one that ends up dead. This happens even when I don't try to kill.


Vincent: I also use a solid, thick style. The trick is to be patient and have faith that correct play will win out over big flashy moves that lack substance.

GrandYan: I still often panic though, thinking about the advantage the opponent will get over me. As a result, I leave my groups, and embark on a reduction. This leaves me with multiple weak groups, and some of them end up dead. Nonetheless, I'l keep your advice in mind. Thanks a lot :)
