Spectrums Go Blog
Rank: KGS 23k
AGA Rank: {none yet}
My goals:
- Get better at reading.
- Do alot of joseki problems.
- Learn thickness.
- Learn fuseki.
Due to a large amount of school, I cannot be playing 2-3 long games a day. However, I play 4-5 blitz games a day. Look for me in the English Game Room.
I am studing Dieter's advice and studing with a Finnish 4k (Prodigious) and a KGS 7k (griffin). They are great teachers :)
Some players I am studing:
GOALS
- Get to 20k by the end of April.
- Get better at fuseki.
- PLAY A LOT OF GAMES.

Well, its early in the morning. I'm not going to play anything until 5:00ish. However, I feel like i've really improved. My reading has gotten better and I'm able to take advantage of my opponent's mistakes.

griffin: wow,well,you definitely don't need to do any more, make sure you do lots of L&D and tesuji problems,they will help your reading enormously

Long day. Played alot of games, won a couple. It's nice to feel improvement. Especially when you get your game reviewed :D

griffin: Why do a lot of joseki problems? I would think tesuji and life and death problems would be better to study,joseki can come later.

I do enough of them as it is. I do around 50-100 a day.

Isn't it annoying when you lose by very little? I just had lost by 2.5 points. Man, I wish I had stopped the invasion! Oh well. I feel like I'm improving, learning different ways to kill and attempt to kill. Almost 26k, yay!
