Welcome to my Go Training Blog. This is where I will be tracking my training on things like tsumego problems and replayed games.
Current Rank:

KGS: Coyotebd 18k?
DGS: Coyote 17k (won a bunch of games on time)
I came to Go a couple of years ago through a collegue. Where I worked we were encouraged to play games during our downtime. Soon after learning the game I was giving stones to those that had taught me. When I peaked I was able to beat the person who'd introduced Go to my office and won a game against a 10kyu club-player who'd given me a 4 stone handicap.
Due to the vagaries of life I stopped playing around that time, and it isn't until recently that I picked it back up. Now I'm studying to regain my strength, and although I'm thrilled to see my rank climb, my goal is to play strong games against good friends I will make along the way. I'm looking for a friendly local club online.

I'm going to keep a list of pro's I'm studying who have styles that I think fit my own preferences. The idea is, if studying pro games puts the proper shapes into your brain, I want not to study pros who rely on fighting for success if I want to be a patient, shape orientated player. These style choices are from Professional Players Go Styles. Right now I'm focusing mostly on Takagawa Kaku.
I am 19K, what should I be studying? Discuss

I've been gone for a long time now, yet hope glimmers on the horizon. I've begun teaching a new student the wonderful game of Go. I hope I haven't forgotten too much in the meantime.
