I played a game today, and tried streaming again. I'm a little bit of a noob at streaming, so I screwed up the first 10 minutes of the video (I wasn't showing the board). So I won't include the video here for now.
I also didn't do a review, yet. I didn't have time after the game, and I had to attend to some medical stuff for my family today - so I'm a bit tired to do a review right now.
But here it is, for your viewing pleasure.
While I didn't review this game, I think I was a bit too casual with how I handled his group on top. Maybe I was thinking too much about the streaming, but I didn't really count liberties or anything, and assumed my group would be fine. It turned into the situation where I was the one running and being attacked.
Luckily for me, he let me break into the side and kill him. So it worked out in terms of game result, even if not in terms of game quality.

Re: Kirby's Study Journal
Haven't reviewed or played any more games yet due to some medical stuff, but I have been doing some go problems now and then, when I get a few minutes.
I ran across one problem that I liked, which I wanted to share: I like this problem because:
1.) There aren't that many possible moves, so it shouldn't take long to iterate all possibilities.
2.) I was still stumped by it for awhile
I'll add the reason I was stumped in hide tags, in case anyone is interested in the problem without hints.
Anyway, that's all I have for this problem. It's a pretty simple problem, which showed a flaw in the basic reasoning I utilize doing go problems.

Re: Kirby's Study Journal
At the hospital right now, so I haven't done much studying. Also haven't reviewed much. But I decided to try to level up my Tygem account, which is currently 3d. I think 1d on KGS can be at least 4d on Tygem, so the games were not that bad.
I played three games and won them all by a good margin, against the same opponent. He challenged me again for a 4th game, but I got too tired and stopped.
In the game where I only won by 18.5, I was careless and got cut off in the center - so he killed it all there. Luckily, I killed the left side, so it was all good.
Here are the games.

Re: Kirby's Study Journal
Here's a problem that is a good deal easier than the one you posted, but it stumped me at first for a similar reason: “It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.” -Mark Twain
Patience, grasshopper.

Re: Kirby's Study Journal
In general, an interesting thing about go is how the "rules" change. As I've gained experience, I've learned rules that have helped guide play - even with more global shapes like josekis, etc.: "This is good for black, this would be good for white. If it's a shape like this, black will get territory in this area."
But depending on the nuances of the situation (weak groups, moves the opponent must respond to, etc.), these "rules" change. Maybe on an empty board, that wide extension wouldn't be territory. But because of the nearby stones, it's going to be territory, etc.
