Reuven
G'day!
My name's Reuven R. and I'm a 42k (Well at least used to be when I had time to play... ;() from the city of Arad in Israel[1].
I used to help a bit with the Hebrew and Russian translation of goproblems.com and add a problem every now and than... Still do in fact when I am home... My nick there is santa c.
For contacts, still can be reached by email or by leaving a msg on kgs to either lazy, Reuven (Can also send suggestions about the Hebrew Room topic), waaa or guest992 which I'll do my best to keep from expiring unlike, hopefull, hopeful, whoElse, cmmndrunk, darkglass, wax3, icecream, chihauhau, chiwawa, justme, secret, point, lazy, shady, polidan, ore, tripleD, heatstroke, bammar, geek, rarek, boku, watakushi, nature, dlm, coldstroke, dim, n00b, wana, senseless, deafmute, ondaway, david42k, wikiwikigo, wikigoing, peaceomind,seeknfind, KAMAP, KOMAP, ranked, registered, alltalkno5, noplay, alltalk, btw, atlanta, warmstroke, cheese, wu, watchout, crybaby, casual18, casual19, dunno, playgogame, tobe, guestguest, average, hsfan, sledopit, tracer, needtoplay, somekyu, today, yersteday, tommorow, guest999, src, newtothis, guu, pathetic, cekpetik, censured, cekpet, inago, project, handsway, azu, w00kster, zmani, jaded, kundason, rubi, howtoplay, depressed, newandtemp, sick, barney, positive, pity, shaky, david42, zacki, chavez, rainbowsix, panda, definite, attempt, notaguest, rrr, dot, finite, santac, newe, picapix, nelinivii, nelenivii, user, meshuamam, oreah, mapolet, tricked, busy, verylate, scriber, player, bamba, uknowho, start, easy and quite a few other nicks I used to have on kgs (not even to mention guest accounts). I'm not sure what's the status of my player account on wBaduk and Reuven accounts on playgogame, dashn and... Well you can see where this is going... People like me might be the reason why there's an "expiration" rule on account... ;)
(Never the less, these and many more all have little stories behind them... I might be really bored one day and write some... Keep an eye... ;P)
Have fun.. ;)
My Reuven accounts info on kgs
Hullo!!!(=Hallo=Hello;)
I'm anywhere between 50-40k, so far. But normally I'd happily play anybody, either R or F with a reasonable (In most cases;) handicape.
About teaching - Always am glad to be taught and help where I can... But being a 42k and thinking that a teaching game has to be played, with a difference of at least 6 stones... You wouldn't belive, how hard it is to find 48ks...
As for my rank - First got a 45k fromhttp://playgo.to/interactive/p45K.html. (I was too lazy to continue reading...) Then I improved a bit and became a 43k! After a while I got promoted(^_^) to 42k... Not much changed since...
About my games... Don't be fooled by their amount, in my list. I played, 4 more! Really! (Is outdated but...;)
And thanks to nosK and everybody who helped me! ;)
* * * *
And I'm a fan of Santa - Just wanted, 2 say that... - Go-Santa!!! ;) (I even got a pic since santa said, "no presents 4 pictureless ppl";) (And my nick on goproblems.com is 'santa c'..)
Have fun..
Go in Israel -
Israeli Go Associations new site
- The official place for go info in Israel (Replaced
this one).
Israeli go mailing list
- The only way to know what's up!
And on kgs -
- Hebrew Room
- The official Israeli room on kgs.
- Mind Go Club
- The club in Rosh Ha-ain (Israel).
- The teaching ladder
- A good place to ask for a lesson or a review. (Used to do reviews there under a bunch of nicks)
Currently
I still visit kgs and add problems to goproblems.com whenever I can.
Rarely visit wBaduk, dashn, dgs, igs, playgogame and yahoo if at all...
Of course I hadn't given up on becomming and surpassing shodan but I guess it'll have to wait until I actually have time to play...
General notes
A good way to learn is to play and get your games reviewed.
Of course when you're the one reviewing, you're normally a number of stones stronger so you should consider going over games and teaching - Often helps to see what you , yourself are forgetting to apply.
A good way to progress is to practice reading by imaginning the correct and wrong paths for known problems.
I'd go farther as to recommend creation of problems. I know that going over all possible variations while working on the possible paths made me stronger. Not to mention the great comments people add, helping you learn new ideas. A good place to do so is goproblems.com.
And if you bothered reading so far, you might as well actually do something useful with your time such as teach weaker players or click (daily) at http://hungersite.com (You click and the sponsors donate)... (;)
Comments?
aceofspades:Hey, reuven! I didn't know there were other Israelis on SL. Chaval sh'ein yoter mashavim lesachkanei go yisraelim. That's probably unreadable, but I'm still working out a way to use Hebrew on SL. Check out my homepage for my translation ideas.
Reuven - היו! כמובן שיש ישראלים נוספים כאן, גו נהיה נפוץ יותר ויותר בארץ - רק בזמן האחרון נפתחו ועתידים להפתח עוד מס' מועדונים... וכשיתחילו לשדר את היקארו נו גו בערוץ הילדים... :)
באמת יהיה נחמד אם יהיה חומר נוסף בעברית אבל לא בטוח שסנסייס זה המקום בתצורה הנוכחית והדבר דורש מחשבה נוספת... אולי שביט, מגו מינד שבראש העין יוסיף ויקי ופורום לאתר שכרגע בתהליכים...
בכל מקרה, בהצלחה עם המשחק והשאיפות! =)
