Now I'll go back to playing.

Thanks for sharing. I've saved it. I reviewed the squeezes and I found it helpful.

But I'm more interested in hearing about how this exercise has helped your game (or not) as time goes on. Let us know later.

I don't know if you care for comments like this but Raw Peep #49 doesn't discuss the Raw Peep #130 doesn't show on the board. It's probably not worth the effort to go back and change it now.

I am curious if you create problems from only your own mistakes or if you consider the opponents mistakes too? I think I am assuming it is only from your own mistakes because there is a "my" in the subject title.

Are you willing to share the SGFs of the games the problems are from? I tried creating some problems from my own games but I think I don't have this skill because I find some fault in every problem. Somehow you seem to have this all figured out. You were also claiming something about the distribution of mistakes between opening, middlegame and endgame.

Yes, my mistakes. The assumption was that I can improve most by "unlearning" my biggest mistakes, with KataGo's point loss as the driving heuristic. Next up is to reverse it and take good moves. The selection will fall on those moments in the game where I was making a deliberate choice in a difficult moment and made the right one.

Willing yes, but unfortunately I didn't keep track of which game in "my games" led to which numbered problem

I haven't figured this out as much as I'm an avid user of Sensei's Library diagram creating feature https://senseis.xmp.net/tools/sgf2diagram.php

Indeed. I counted more than 1 endgame situation. About 5/210. Opening is debatable but not more than 5 I'd say. So the vast majority of my big mistakes comes from my middle game. The heuristic used may make this a self fulfilling statement.

Thanks for the interest, as always.

Quantitatively, as I told John too, I feel a revived, more robust 2d now, in a landscape which may have deflated since AI came about. Qualitatively I can say there are plenty of occasions where I'm wary of the slow connection, the raw peep, surrounding in sente ... so I feel like better player too. The hardest part is getting rid of the non-conceptual, lazy, blitzy blunders. and infuse my game with consistent reading. For this I'm now playing some very slow paced games and also doing more tsumego to their full extent (i.e. don't stop at the solution, using them as a reading practice). This is 30 years of bad practice that needs to be destroyed and healing again.

You can always edit the page with such a comment. I will fix it. Thanks.
