Life In 19x19

Well done Negapesou on reaching 1 dan!
I think we may have played on OGS once sometime last year, I dont feel so bad about my loss now! You must have been on the up and up ha

Handicap games are great! I'll play +/-9 stones. I would play with more handicap stones but get confused about where to put them after 9!

I think I actually prefer handicap games... the mad rush when you have to make up 9 stones!

And nothing is better than putting someone several stones stronger ...

ISTJ may be a good guess. A quick search suggests that they are the most abundant of the 16 personality types.

However, I do wonder in what way personality affects our learning and playing of Go.

I also wonder about the accuracy of MBTI theory...

INFP

I also thought that this may be unusual for Go players... but perhaps not?

I agree wholeheartedly with the OP. I have a similar backstory... so I won't bore you with it. Seriously though, I wouldn't have learned a thing about Go if it wasn't for the great minds on L19 bumping into each other here for a little chat. And teaching the whole community in the process. Thank you ...

Close but no cigar. It was a fun problem

Not sure if I'm right about this,
just thought I'd give it a go.
