Hello ladies and gentlemen, it is currently January 4th 2012 and it is time for me to start my journey to reach 1 Dan

Go Study Plan:
- Reading
- Get strong at Series
- Go graded problems 3
- Attack and Defense
- Learning from Pro games

- Playing (ASR League / WBaduk server)
- 1 or 2 serious games during the week if i´m not busy with school stuff
- 3 or more during the weekend

Time to work hard!!! :D

My first game this year (with some comments done by me)(Fixed i believe)

From my experience with Get Strong At Invading, the Get Strong at series is hard, so don't despair if you can't stomach through it. You'll still get something out of it even just by skimming it.

I can't seem to see the game in the post, though. I dloaded it and will be looking at it.

Good luck with your journey! :)

Thanks.
I haven´t touched that yet, i only looked at the get strong at the opening, seemed quite a nice book for reading, so i thought maybe the rest would be too.

Time for another update:

- finished 100 of 175 problems of Get Strong at the Opening
- finished 15 of 534 problems of Get Strong at Tesuji

Key points to focus from now on:

- Defending, instead of actually going in berserk mode and attack everything or creating very big moyos
- Not worrying too, when my opponent creates a moyo.
- Learning how to count properly and don´t resign too soon.

For counting, something that helped me a lot were these lessons.

Time to bring the latest new of my study jornal

I´ve been playing a lot lately especialy on wbaduk, fighting sandbaggers from all over the corners of the world, which i actually enjoy doing it :P
I have been neglecting doing problems for a few days, but i´ve finished Get Strong at the Opening and i´m on the 120th problem of Get Strong at Tesuji.
And that´s it for now ^_^

I will be posting some games that i played on the ASR league as soon as i review them.
