With the kind of solving frenzy you get into, regularity is probably out of the question.
(Yes, I'm thinking of GoChild. Awe inspiring! :D )


Hahaha, hem, yeah, ok, guilty as charged. That site is awesome.

Other than that, and the Graded Go Problems books I read on the train every now and again, and the occasional dabble with MFoG 10 go problems, what have Go Problems done for me?

Seriously though, I don't think people should ever feel obliged to force them into their routine, that's all :)

Absorbed stuff I guess. Watched the way professionals developed from familiar positions. Learned some josekis and tesujis. Changed my attitude to sente/gote. Read some really good Go books (Kageyema Fundamentals, Kageyama Handicap Go, Kajiwara Direction of Play, Kato Attack and Kill to name a few), and tried new things.

Practiced counting, practiced sacrificing things, reminded myself to always consider tenuki.

Played games against stronger people. Analysed the losses, remembered sequences where the stronger player deviated from what I would have done and stored for future use. Remembered little comments where people say "don't clamp here, hane here because this is sente and that's gote" and stored them for future reference.

Visited and revisited and revisited the fundamentals, things like staying ahead, one point jumps vs kinght's jumps, learned the value of capping and elephant jumps, learned weak points and aji points in shapes.

Lots of subconscious stuff I guess, just no study routines or problem sessions :)
