Thanks. You are very helpful!

That is adorable!

Do you know who is the publisher?

I'll be there.
Looking forward to meeting all of you.
I love New York, even if I am poor.
Eating there can be both good and cheap, but lodging is rather expensive.
Currently I'm planning on staying in a (rather shabby) youth hostel, but if anyone is willing to cooperate on an upgrade, I'd be happy ...

This game was played two days (six games) after my previous loss, making the datye January 4, 2013.

It's not quite as ugly as my previous two losses. I feel that I started out ok in the early opening, but then made a poorly considered corner invasion that strengthened my opponents stones and had me ...

Thank you again, SodesuNe and billywoods!

I'll look closely at your sugestions, instructions, and variations.

I'm finding this very helpful.

I'll add the anotated game record to my study journal as soon as I can!

The second game I lost this year. It was played on January 2, 2013. The first loss of the year was posted here . I'll catch up to my current losses before too long.

In this game, I thought I was doing pretty well, then my opponent proceded to invade and reduce my framework, cut my groups, and prove ...

I have created a study plan for the next stage of my learning.

I am not targeting a specific rank, nor am I setting a deadline, but rather am detailing a routine to adhere to and curriculum to guide me.

Study curriculum:

THat yours and your wife's computers are similarly connected, but do not share the problem leads me to guess that there is a difference in your network settings.

That the traceroute results are different for two computers using the same gateway tells me that the difference is either in the "default ...

I have had a similar problem on Debian GNU/Linux when using the BlackBox window manager.

I have found that, in my case, the problem is not the program "freezing", but is actually a window focus problem. When I would leave the main window to a child window, such as a game I am playing or observing ...

Much thanks to billywoods and skydyr for you comments and analysis!

I've edited the sgf to include your input and some follow-up.

The first loss of the year. January 1, 2013.

Rather poor play. I was a bit behind from the opening, and then I made it worse by badly mis-reading a ladder. My opening needs much work.

It was nice of my opponent to have fun with the meaningless ko at the end. I should have resigned, but ko practice ...
