My Proverbs
- The most inefficient stones are in the lid of your opponent's bowl.
- Tesuji is Japanese for "Damn, why didn't I think of that?!?"
- The Chinese Fuseki is more than three moves.
- Just because your opponent is nodding doesn't mean you made a good move.
- If you've read something out but it contradicts a proverb, do it anyway. It probably means one of three things:
- You probably don't understand the proverb.
- It doesn't apply in this case.
- You made a mistake earlier on.
At any rate, you'll learn something.
