That Mechanical play is the bane of progression. You have to exercise your calculation muscle every game, every move. One thing is being told this, another thing is realizing it for yourself. Needless to say realizing it for yourself is much more powerful. Anything not realized by myself feels fake and shallow. That's also why Imitating other people's moves is not an option for me.
Very very true, I think. Playing even 'obvious' moves casually is an awful mistake (that is very easy to make).
I also want to ask the same question as Osvaldo! Would you like to schedule a weekly serious game/review? I'm trying (very unsuccessfully) to break past 2d on KGS recently. (Actually, same question to Osvaldo, Sodesune if you're interested).

Yeah I'd like to schedule a weekly game/review for sure. Just throw some numbers at me and I'll see if they fit into the clockwork

Oh is that so? That's nice! I hope you play some good games. I've always wanted to participate in tournaments
And yeah, that article is pretty well known on this site, though I don't think there's that many people who adhere to it at all. Most people who keep study journals are kyu players and that 'guide' is for dan level. Even so, it still introduces some important points which will benefit players of any level.

Thanks a lot for the link to http://tsumego.tasuki.org/?page=tsumego . I really wanted some problems to do away from the computer, but most of the books were too expensive.
