Going Beyond Shodan

[NPatel]

Hello L19,

I've always had ambitions of becoming a strong player, thinking “somewhere between 6d- 8d would be nice". Well it certainly would be nice, but like most things worth doing, it's easier thought then done. I'll be using this journal as a way of keeping track of my progress and keeping me motivated to continue towards my lofty goals.

Short term goal: kgs 2d

So, here's to improving. Cheers!

Carelessness strikes again! And it hurts, pretty bad. Super epic fail right at the end.

A somewhat lame way to start this series, but still worth reviewing.
Please leave comments and/or questions, I will take both as encouragement to continue this series.

Yes, you're absolutely right. Thanks for the comments. Goproblems.com, here I come.

Went to goproblems.com this morning and tried the 1d time trial and... found it too hard . Then tried the 1k trial and it was still too hard. So then I just went straight to the 6k one and found it just challenging enough. I did about 20 or so before losing all my hearts.

And also here's another of my games I dissected. Still a bit careless at the end, but not as bad as last game.
