Life In 19x19

I’m ready to finish...is it too late? Haha

Due to me moving this week, and having to deal a lot with lawyers and housing people the last few weeks. I have not had much time to play or study as I was able to during the time when I made this goal. I am changing it to 10k as I won't be able to play/study for a while until I am settled in at the ...

11: Don't let your corner get locked in. E4? E5? D5? D6?

13: E4

15+17: Good!

19: Good idea. Maybe a bit ambitious. Something around the 11th or 10 rank looks better.

43: O10 is a net which kills P9. Even if you are not looking for tactical moves, O10 should occur to you because of the shape ...

I Just got 10k. 8 more days to get 9k. Unfortunately, I am moving next week and I'm not sure how much time I will have to play. Hopefully I can get enough games in to get there!

Here is a recent game I've played. Would love a review.

Thanks!

Thanks Bake, hopefully we can both improve as quickly as your friend. Thanks for sharing that success story all the way to 6dan in a few years from 12k

Thanks Bill. Great comments. I really should have played the bottom right corner better. It's funny because I thought I was going to be screwed as I was making the moves if he extended up the right side properly.. but I still made the moves anyways. I need to start thinking of better moves when I ...

Congrats on your first live tournament...got any tips.my first tourney is next week. Is it hard to record the game

Thanks Bill,

I'll take the time to go through all those variations. Many thanks for the in depth review. I will let you know when I've completed studying it.

My go order arrived. Altogether too many books bought but I'm happy.

The Speed Baduk series looks as interesting as tchan001 said it was. I might make volume 7 of that into sgf form first I think for study on the iPad. (I've decided to make sgfs of all the books I get so that I can just carry the ...

Thanks EdLee, no bad shape comments

Must be getting better
