Hi Mouse,You may enjoy this one ( interview @ ~18:00 ):

I'm back!

Well, I've been back for a little while. I spent some time thinking in December, and came to the realization that Go is definitely one of my two favorite hobbies. My problem has been a form of ladder anxiety, which is odd for me. I have never really suffered from it in any other games I played.

I thought about taking a break from the AYD league. But decided that it would be a good independent metric to track against. I am watching the lectures, the reviews in the league at and above me and the weekly highlights. I am also just playing a lot of games on Tygem and taking the opportunity to play games against dans I know when possible.

I started the year at 2 to rank down to 3k on Tygem. I have been maintain a win streak well enough that I did not rank down and am in fact 3-1 into the 1k bracket now. ^^

I'm having a lot of fun this year. My best guess is that I only played about 100 games last year. 2 weeks into 2019 and I'm already 1t 18 games. It is going to be a good year.
