1d player from Bloomington, Indiana, playing since January 2006. I play as hongmao on KGS, currently 2k there but winning at least 75% of the games I play - I get ahead in the opening and lose the game by trying too hard to punish. I need to learn more patience to get past chuduan (shodan), I think.

I love:

  1. 1 Good shape, which usually translates into
  2. 2 Thick influence, which usually results in
  3. 3 Killing groups or splitting attacks.

I used to love sacrifice, but I do not like to do it so much anymore - I did it too often and left my opponents too strong.

I believe a combination of tsumego and how to use thickness is the key to learning how to get stronger, but thus my play is suffering from being too heavy when invading.
