Life In 19x19

Thank you. I shall practice more.

...perhaps some elaboration?

I've probably played more than a thousand games. The upper bound is a mystery though.

When I visualize the game, I don't so much use my imagination as I do simply look at where I want the stone to go. The motion of my eyes helps to establish the position. If I forget a stone, I reestablish the location by looking back at that point.

I guess I first learned of the game when I was 16. I am 21 now. Why?

Actually, in this variant, the wrapping of the edges aplies only to the 1-1 points. Should have been more clear.

I played this game against kagishuwo. As I don't have internet acess at the time, I'm recreating the game on my cell phone. Please comment as you will:

In the meantime, I'll add comments, just give me a sec.

I played this three hour game against someone named Kagishuwo. But we were unable to finish ...

This is the finalized go variant that I've been working on.

The rules are :

1.star points count as edges of the board.
2.the four corners of the board do not count as edges, but instead, wrap around in each direction.
3.suicide is legal.
4. There are four hoshi points, instead of 9.
6. Played on a ...

long time no see.

Some rules clarifications:

yes, ALL liberties wrap around. The handicap system reverts to free placement of stones by the weaker player.

liberties wrap around, Territory wraps around as well. Also, think of the star points as black holes where no liberties can exist, nor any ...

I'm posting the rules of a go variant here, for anyone who might be interested in the variant. play around with it for a little bit.

There's three modifications to the rules:

1. Suicide is allowed.
2. Liberties wrap around the edges of the board to the opposite edge.
3. Star points may not be ...

This was a fun, but rather difficult game for me. The outcome being unclear up until the resignation. Being uncertain of my strength, I hope to learn of my weak areas and some areas for improvement.

As to my current regimen of training, I usually do about a page of tsumego a day. Other than that, I ...

I find asking youself what each move means helps alot. Even if your answers are wrong, you'll find out soon enough, after which, you can adapt accordingly. One of the things that really helped me was writing an essay about my games, in which I detailed every move and why that move was played(usually ...

I believe thinking like this causes one to get weaker, actually. I hardly ever ponder such things when I am crushing the life out of my opponent.
