i should have got points for this game because it was no handicap and he was 18 kyu versus my 23 kyu wbaduk but they dont allow rated games between uneven ranks unless its within 4 stones [sgf-full](;CA[Windows-1252]SZ[19]AP[MultiGo:4.4.4]GN[Free game]DT[20110108 [23\:51\]]PB[haru8307 18K] PW[1986 23K]KM[6.5]HA[0]RE[White wins by resign!]US[www.cyberoro.com]MULTIGOGM[1] ;B[pd];W[dp];B[op];W[dd];B[lp];W[nc];B[nd];W[mc];B[md];W[jd];B[kd];W[kc];B[lc];W[lb] ;B[ld];W[jb];B[pj];W[pb];B[oc];W[nb];B[ob];W[oa];B[pc];W[qb];B[qc];W[rb];B[rc];W[sb] ;B[sc];W[qj];B[pk];W[qk];B[qa];W[pl];B[ra];W[pa];B[ma];W[mb];B[nj];W[ol];B[pi];W[qi] ;B[ph];W[qh];B[qf];W[rf];B[rg];W[qg];B[re];W[pf];B[sf];W[pg];B[pe];W[ng];B[lg];W[mh] ;B[lh];W[mi];B[lj];W[mj];B[nk];W[mk];B[nl];W[ml];B[nm];W[pn];B[mn];W[qp];B[om];W[pm] ;B[ll];W[pq];B[on];W[po];B[oo];W[oq];B[mp];W[mr];B[nh];W[mg];B[of];W[og];B[oh];W[oe] ;B[nf];W[ne];B[mf];W[me];B[le];W[lf];B[kf];W[od];B[mf];W[nf];B[lf];W[li];B[ki];W[kj] ;B[lk];W[kh];B[ji];W[jh];B[ii];W[ih];B[jj];W[jf];B[je];W[ie];B[if];W[ke])[/sgf-full] i have been doing way more tsumego than 20 a day so far i solved 250 tsumego since the year started and still counting im on number 170 on vol 3 my ratio is 58% im workin on improving my ratio its kinda embarrassing i play on both servers now i figure i would do kgs one day and wbaduk the next becasue i still got friends on wbaduk and their are alot of pro games to watch and they got the coolest problems i haven't been solving them as much becuase i have been on a roll with vol 3 and dgs i love playing games on dgs the iphone app makes it so easy to play go on the go and some people are really active so its cool i got a few games going and i just started this year well time to watch a go video see ya

I'm 4000 22 kyu on wbaduk now I ranked up today it feels good KGS was down all day but I'm 10 kyu on that server so I ranked up from 11 kyu since my last post actually the last game I posted from KGS was the one that ranked me up I played a really good teaching game with redundant on Sunday I have been reviewing it in my spare time improving on my fundamentals I'm excited about go I'm at 320 problems for the year so far I was thinking about getting into tesuji also just to mix it up but I'm on a roll since the new year I kind of don't want school to start I'm still on #170 in Vol 3 I have been doing the wbaduk problem set instead I'm on #245 19-15k set out of the 20 I did today I missed 3 I think that's it well you know the drill

Keep on going. I like that you keep playing on WBaduk, in some month when you improved further i like to interview you about how KGS and WBaduk compare in the kyu ranks. (Ranking, playing style etc.)

Post subject:	Re: The hyperbolic time chamber
so this update is kind of different it’s a bit chatty Tapir- That’s a great idea I would like to see more people Play wbaduk its only a few American flags every time I get on I see Oren from l19 but that’s it and it’s a shame because in the kyu ranks are some great rivals I have been chasing a few guys for a long time I need to rank up that’s why I play so much wbaduk Those guys think they just going to leave me behind But No sir buddy I'm coming for em I'm even loading my wbaduk games in KGS for review Now take advantage of the free teaching yesterday I played majority wbaduk Solving problems and looking for even games my goal was 20 kyu because I was 10 KGS but I didn’t get any wins yesterday out of 4 games with a 21 kyu Korean player I reviewed the games last night to find out my most basic mistakes I'm getting better at my own reviews but I digress I logged on to KGS and hit auto-match a game pops up and I'm 9 kyu To my surprise my first ever game as a 9 kyu I never was 9 kyu on anything not even many faces so I’m smiling all hard I had to calm down and get a cigaret before I could play and then internet messed up and I got put out That game sorry Jukebox I left him a message I want to finish that game But since I won my last game as 10 kyu I ranked up and didn't know it Then I thought about redundant saying I was good for a 10 kyu so then I Was like maybe I'm am sdk I stopped being nervous and was mentally preparing myself to hang with the 9 kyu stone for stone I went to bed I was to excited to play last night didn’t want to mess up and rank down from excitement and nervousness I got up got some coffee and played my second game as a 9 kyu the first one completed [sgf-full](;GM[1]FF[4]CA[UTF-8]AP[CGoban:3]ST[2]

how to post my graph but if i did i would have put it here here the link to my graph http://www.gokgs.com/graphPage.jsp?user=go1986 I think I'm going to play mostly wbaduk today and see if I can get the ranks to even out I will play my first game as a 8 kyu when I feel ready I don’t know why I second guess myself on rank in KGS I beat a 7 kyu playing even before so maybe I'm 6 kyu but it was a teaching game so I didn’t get the credit I just don’t know what rank I am on KGS its kind of wired to rank up so fast I only completed one game as a 9 kyu Buy hey I'm going to see how far I can push this thing I will play every game like it’s the championship game and see where I settle down at. OK this is to long my hands hurt but Nobody else I know cares until my school buddy comes back from New York, I just tired to tell my girlfriend I'm 8 kyu KGS and she just looked at me like so p.s. I'm at 350 tsumego for the year it will be 370 tonight I'm on # 275 wbaduk 19-15 kyu set I missed 4 yesterday I'm going to pick back up Vol 3 I should be doing better at those problems Maybe tsumego does make you strong

After I got a idea of what it is I recognize the concept immediately because I see it so much on wbaduk I played with that idea in mind today and I saw how some of my friends in the Korean room used it so now I gotta learn more about it. I'm adding the study of Haengma To my elementary study criteria I plan on ordering Master of The Haengma And This is Haengma together for about 50 bucks That’s including shipping & handling

One small thought to take away: On move 74, you fill a very small ko, sometimes called a half-point ko (http://senseis.xmp.net/?HalfPointKo) Don't ever fill such a ko unless it's the very late endgame!

I'm at 545 problems solved for the year i kind of slowed down since schools back in I haven't won a game on wbaduk since my last post thats why i havent posted in a while - no point increase I'm on the 14-10 kyu set of problems now Wbaduk # 1 I'm going to start doing the test room too i win on KGS but only against 9 kyu players i figure I'm about a strong 9 kyu i lost every game so far against every 8 kyu player i played so needless to say 7 kyu is my goal, I'M TIED OF LOSING i still have a 8 kyu rating but i bounce up and down all day its ridiculous how every game my rank changes i have been losing a lot lately so I'm hungry to know what I'm doing wrong. in class the other day we got this quote i kind of applies to go Thomas Kempis-The acknowledgment of our weakness is the first step toward repairing our loss

i'm on number 49 on my Wbaduk problems and i have been playing some great games also i only won one so I'm 4600 22 kyu these 14-10k problems are a lot different than the other set but i managed to get 10 right the first try one thing about these problems i read out a solution then i go to play it and a unexpected move by white messes up my original plans but sometimes its easier to find the eyes after the fact it takes from 3 - 6 tries until i get it but i'm gaining confidence i'm my reading and i'm learning patterns of l&d like some of the solutions are similar but different positions so I'm starting to recognize patterns that help me solve other problems and i think some problems have one or two answers i got good answer but not correct answer on 4 problems i wrote them down so i can go back and find a better solution its a little harder to knock out twenty a day on this set

Yes. Sometimes there are alternative sequences that work just fine, but are not accepted as a solution. Sometimes, it gives you a "good move", for a solution that works but is not the straight one, it is usually worth the time to figure out why as there is often a meaning behind it (less ko threats e.g.).

i have been getting my butt kicked latley im 4800 points now 22K im on problem number 70 on the 14-10k set i have got 21 right my first try out of 63 problems in total i dont feel to good about that ratio but im a so happy when i find the solution i dont mind im learing a lot im 9 kyu currently KGS i will play more KGS tomorrow, gotta get my rank back i have been trying more to get my rank to even out playing mainly wbaduk, I'm two wins awayfrom 21 kyu lately i have been in study mode i cant figure out what I'm missing to beat the 21k i have been drilling the basics going through the korea times baduk articles online & doing alot of lectures on wbaduk besides the obvious tsumego between games i love the test room after i finish the text lectures i will go through the test by level in the test room to drill everything i have been learning in the lectures i figured out another way to mix school work and go im doing a paper on Robert Greene a very well known authour of the best selling 48 laws of power which is interesting if anybody every read the book he talks about GO in law number 48 starting on page 423 he comapres chess to go and he says im my own words go is more related to real world principles of power than chess because chess is rigid and position oriented and go is fluid and now a days everything changes so fast you have to be able to stay mobile and adapt to a ever changing board i mean world Robert Greene also wrote: the 48 laws of power & 33 strategies of war & the art of seduction & the 50th law with the co-author 50 cent a famous gangster rapper in USA my paper will be on the 33 strategies of war and the 50 laws of power and how they relate to go my topic sentence is- The laws of power and strategies of war covered by Robert Greene are real life proven principles that can be applied in business and in Go. (the 48 + the 50 the law minus the 49 law that doesn't exist in robert green's writings) i have about a month and a half before its due i might post it in the creative writing section of the board thats my update back to my drills

One thing about wbaduk ranks. Last I heard, they're full of sandbaggers. Also, they're very broad for kyus (i.e. a kgs 2k could be anywhere from 4k to 3d there). Don't take wbaduk rank seriously at all.

Post subject:	Re: The hyperbolic time chamber
You are right redundant I won't be able to even out my rank I was checking out the little chart on sensei library that compares rankings world wide and all the rankings look off As far as sandbaggers u can usually tell who is sandbagging they are the guys wit 60 wins and 3 losses so u can avoid them and still have fun I play a lot of certified ranks the guys wit * by the rank are certified that makes it easier to spot the regular players

yeah: red was not saying that you should not play sandbaggers (which is good practice, and I wish there were more sandbaggers where I'm at) but that sandbagging affects the ranking system, probably causing you to be lower ranked than you should be.

I'm 21k 5050 Wbaduk FINALLY and KGS 9k I still haven't got back to 8k but I'm very close I'm on #83 wbaduk problem set 14-10k 31 right out of 83 ehhh thats not as good as it could be it took about 4 tries to get most of them but some of them i had to skip and come back to because it would drive me crazy looking at the same problem for several minutes but i went back and turned all my good answers into correct answers and that cleared up 9 unsolved problems out of my 83 i did the little test to determine your est rank about 20 whole board problems at http://play.baduk.org/ it said i was European 9 kyu it was fun i did it on my iphone I wish it where more sites online where i can solve problems like that on my phone iphone doesn't support java that knocks out a lot of sites if you know any let me know please i have tried the test in the test room for the 19-25k level but i don't think i finished the test even though i solved about thirty something problems it just wouldn't end so i stopped it i wonder how many tsumego are in each level it was really really really fun, the best time i ever had doing tsumego 30 seconds a problem, i felt like i was on a game show i got 61.8 % the ones i missed i got immediately right the second try these problems are not as difficult as the ones on the 14-10k set in the pop up window but i might as well work my up, i need the practice i tired the total test also but that doesn't end either and its above my level according to the charts i need help on everything i made 50 percent on the opening so thats my strongest area and i though my opening wasn't that good , I'm proud of that i completed all the Responses & haengma lectures on wbaduk now I'm doing the vital point lectures and from my understanding haengma its kind of like tewari u figure out the best sequence that leave u with the best shape and position that coordinated with the whole board thats what i got from the lectures very informative I love this game

I'm Still Wbaduk 21 kyu/ KGS 9 Kyu Problem #133 got 42 right total my first try i guess I'm growing up maturity wise in my go i have been reading the zen & go stuff on sensei library on this board and online. Its interesting because i never heard of it before i read a few stories and took the things that help me out I'm not going full fledged zen master anytime soon or later not my thing what sparked my interest though was a thread on this site that had a post about a zen story and it was something about wanting to be a master swordsman but the moral of the story was "A man in such a hurry as you are to get results seldom learns quickly." I related to the student so I'm giving up my goal oriented approach to gain a stone as fast as i can and I'm just going with the flow from now on and be patient when i play a game winning was my goal before now my goal is just to play better than i did the last time i was really focused on my improvement too much and going down in rank really messed me up i don't think i every lost a stone, it made me work harder and the wanting to win so bad was making me loose before i started reading about zen i was getting my butt kicked on a big losing streak and i read this little story and all the guy said was it will pass and that got me right back into the game so now i apply it to my go i have been loosing all my games "it will pass" I have been winning all my games "it will pass" now i could care less about what the number says by my name i just aim for the best move everytime its my turn well that's pretty much my update in brief
