Poor teacher rarely produce good student. In Go most (if not all) so called go prodigies had exceptionally good teachers.

Unfortunately, that is unproven. I am quite willing to think that Segoe was a good teacher, but it's not like Go Seigen needed a good teacher. It is good for us that he was selected.

I was not surprised to read Shin's list: I don't think this study schedule is very special among pros, probably all young pros who are eager to reach the top or stay on top have to have very similar, intensive training.

I really want to give Shin's study plan a shot, but I have a feeling I wouldn't be able to sustain this kind of rigor for even one day


But also I have been considering starting a go stream. Maybe this will be a good challenge one of these days

I'd watch it! I tried streaming a couple of times myself, but it was hard to do much outside of mumbling. I'm thinking I'd either need to stream while sandbagging and/or improve my presentation skills.

It's a bit different than just playing a game of go, where you're typically not trying to make a show out of it.

I've streamed once or twice in the past, and I'm hoping I can make mumbling my gimmick

Also, I think if any kyu player such as myself does try this, I'm thinking it would be a good idea to substitute most (if not all) of the kifu study with L&D and tesuji problems. From my own experience, pro games, while fun, aren't nearly as efficient as problems in terms of what I'm able to apply to my games.
