| Post subject: | Development of a Go Player |
A couple years ago, I met someone in the Seattle Go Center who told me I was close in overall ability to a 7 kyu. He was confused though, and found me somewhat hard to judge because according to him, my skills were a bit unusual. I was better at reading the whole board than he'd usually expect from a 7 kyu, but not as good at reading out fights. Recalling his comments got me thinking, is there a "conventional" path of development you would expect for the skills of a new player? |

In fact, this is quite common for adults.Quote: Is there a "conventional" path of development you would expect for the skills of a new player? In the sense that there's most likely some sort of 'normal' distribution ( for various ages ), yes.

I am reminded of the martial arts saying: "There are 360° to the martial arts." IOW, everybody's different.
