Life In 19x19

My initial impression of your game is that you do not think in terms of 'light' vs 'heavy'. All of your stones seem to have roughly equal importance to you. I never see a move that implies a thought of "My group just got big enough that I cannot afford to lose it, therefore I shall make-a-second ...

This is the first game I played with my uncle after spending a 2 months (leisurely) studying go in China. I usually get destroyed by him. But the game didn't go very well. I'm looking for where I went wrong. We both made a ton of mistakes because of time.

I don't think sellers from Amazon.cn generally ship overseas. It's pretty hard to pay to, since they only except Chinese forms of payment Yah, but In china the book is widely available for really cheap. Most weiqi books are 3 Us dollars to 5 US dollars.

I've found out a bit more about the rankings here in Guiyang. The only way to get rankings here is in the quarterly ranking tournament. the Ranks are 10kyu, 5kyu, 2kyu, 1kyu, 1 dan, 2 dan, 3, dan, and 5 dan. Every ranking tournament, you can only move up one stage. only a certain number of people ...

Could someone please help me review this game? I keep losing. I've been stuck at 8 kyu for a while

I just got back from the Go center's 7:00PM class full of kids under 9. I beat a kid that was 2kyu. Here's the game what do you think? We entered the game into panda tetsuki as we played, I wonder if it fatigued him or something.

His whole group dying is not a result of lack of skill. He already ...

Does anyone here have a rank in Mainland China? Are the ranks per province or for the whole country? I'm going to be taking a rating test on the 23rd of this month. And I'm not sure if I want to apply as a 15 kyu, a 10 kyu or a 5 kyu. It seems as if those three are the only options.

Does anyone ...

Just finished watching a relatively new Chinese move called White Vengeance about the fall of the Qin Dynasty. The movie had lots of go scenes. Although some of the boards looked like 50kyu vs 50kyu.

I am a 8kyu on Kgs yet on IGS I'm unable to beat anyone better than 17kyu. Sometimes I even lose to people in the Beginner Class. What's with this ? What's with all the 17kyus that have 10,000 wins and losses? Are there lotsa sandbaggers or is IGS just screwed up?

Lost by 10 points with 0.5 komi as black

Can someone give me some tips please?
