Impressive game otenki, you've come a long way since we were reviewing your ddk games.

-> Thanks, kind of you to say!

- First corner your opponent made the mistakes and you capitalised on them well to make thick shape.

-> :)

- M4 then R7 combo showed an admirable advanced ...

Now with LZ

When White finishes the local sequence at 28, the thickness outweighs the territory and Black has a useless stone.

For 30 I would not 3-3 but either approach at R6 or play on the left side to build, for example C9, or, if you really want to play AI-like, C5.

So, when 35 gets to play ...

Thanks for your review, see my inline comments:

I think White played inconsistent in the opening and then chose to make a weak group. Over the course of settling this group, White gave away a lot of points to Black. But Black also did not find a good way to attack and later played really small and ...

I have not been playing a lot lately but just doing some tsumego. Now back to playing on tygem.
In the end I won this game but I thought this game was way closer than I imagined it.
It felt to me like black made some slow moves in the beginning but then gradually got back closer the whole game.

Any ...

Alright, in that case I`ll hold off on doing this collection

Thanks!

Hey!

Anyone know what the ~about~ tsumego level of the collection Xian Ji Wu Ku is ? (http://senseis.xmp.net/?XianJiWukuProblems)

Thanks,

Hey guys,

My opponent said at the end of my game that I was weak.
I'm a 1k on kgs and played a 0.5 komi game with 1d.
In my observation if I played 180 at e4 black will be good right since white has to capture the center stones @j7; black can go back and fix the cut.
After that black should be ...

Hi,

If you like fighting a lot like me, then I can strongly recommend "fight like a pro, the secrets of kiai".
They are all fighting games with lots of excitements and fun fighting ideas.
From the games in this book you can learn a bit how to fight but also _when_ to fight which is was quite ...

@skydyr: I've skipped the first part of graded go problems for dan players and indeed it gets a lot more intresting.
The green chinese book that I was referring to was this one btw: m

Anyone know for what kind of level that would be suitable, seems hard but not undoable if I ...

Hi guys,

I`ve been trying to find some good life and death to do for around my level (egf 3k, tygem 2d).
I was doing graded go problems for dan players 1 but seemed like a bit easy. (maybe it will get harder later)
I`m looking for problems I can solve in like a few minutes, not at glance.
I tried ...

Hi,

I will not repeat stuff that has been said allready as that would be boring, but I agree with a lot of things said...
What I do not 100% agree with so much is the need for "high quality" pro-games. Except for entertainment it currently has not that much value to you imho.
Whay I would do is ...

Chariot I`ll play you, I propose even closed book.
Does that sounds ok for you ?

Hi guys,

Its been a long time since I have written anything here.
I have been playing a bit but not studying that much because I felt really like there was not that much I could do about my go. Maybe I had lost my motivation.

This all changed this summer, when I decided I would go my first ...

Hi guys,

Do you know when kgs accounts start to get deleted? I`m currently only playing on tygem and real life but would rather not loose my kgs account for later. Anyone know after how long it starts expireing ?

Cheers,
Otenki
