SDK Level Up Thread
Posted: Thu Nov 13, 2014 6:56 pm
Hey guys. I've helped a bunch of different SDKs break through to low dan over the course of my not amazingly long Go career, and I figure I could probably help you guys get to where you want to be.
I'm not going to be charging for this service because I'm weak and I feel like a lot of the kinds of answers I'll be giving out have to be taken with some amount of salt anyways.
I plan on having a small study group, I don't want more than 5 people in it, and I want to get to known each of you in and out of the game. I think I can usually tell what people need to break through that 1d barrier, and I think that if you have the capability of reaching SDK, you most likely have the capability of reaching low dan.
First 5 SDK to sign up get in, or everyone who signs up before next week, if less than 5 SDKs are interested.
I'd like a:
Screenname/name you'd like to be referred to
Age
Current Rank
How long you've been playing
Target Rank(if you don't have one, say so)
Attach an SGF of a game you've played recently.
I plan on playing games 1v1 with you guys and reviewing them through Twitch streaming with the rest of you, and assigning homework to complete.
Please do not sign up if you are just curious and don't plan on putting in hard work or effort. Improving in Go is a difficult process, and having to do things outside your comfort zone like difficult problems or replaying memorized games or learning long sequences are often part of the process. I want people who are open to do these things.
That said, this is me.
Violence
26 years old
Barely AGA 4D
Been playing for 8 years
Would like to reach AGA 6d by the end of grad school(2016)
Will attach an SGF soon.
