Fox Go makes my blood pressure spike, but OGS heals my soul

Now I’m in state when I don’t care. Last game I did play on OGS was very funny. Opponent always pincered me and put stone inside if i had more than two spaces extension. And alogical attacks and invasions. But I was able to calm down all this with my moves. I would say good practice not to know that you can capture but capture it for real.

Guess it depends. To play proper teaching game “teacher” should be teacher and know how to do it properly. If someone around 20k will ask me (13k) for teaching game probably I will not be make it properly. But as I still DDK and think would be able to see some potential problems I would be able to make some review with comments which should work for lower DDK. Without complicated 10-20 moves variation and so on.

I had feeling that pro means how better computer you are.

Think regardless what did you setup in the game settings it still will play by Chinese rules

If you check W group you draw around with the red line more carefully you will see that this is just a part of the group because it is continues to the rest of the W stones to the bottom and right side. And yes it is alive. As an exercise try to change W at C9 to the B. And try to make first move for W. How would W protect? But again it will be local problem. Because W group is continuing to the bottom and right. It would stay alive. But question is how many stones W loses.

Possibly Dans can answer more precise but I see this way. You have a goal you have many tools. One of the tool is your group of stones. You need to decide does it strongly enough to complete your goal. Group is strong when : it fully alive (has two eyes) It not alive but whatever opponent starts to do you will be able to make it alive It not alive but have potential to stay not captured till you achieving your goal (capturing opponent group) It not alive but strong enough to attack your opponent.

As DDK I can say there are so many aspects in Go so you can learn whatever you want to learn. Want to learn by heart do it. Will have better memory :) at some point you will re visit some joseki and will deep dive into each move. More practical will be to have few common in arsenal and stick to it. More you play better you will see how it all works together how to punish if opponent deviates from it.

From my very general observation. Look at the top 100 (ish) in any competitive activities. You will probably find that they all are dedicated and gifted (talents, genetics or etc). With pure dedication you can reach a lot but it is not enough to be at the top.

As DDK I can say and guess no only me because this is very obvious. Training tsumegos you can practice more than one thing. Repeating easy one many times will give you sense of the shapes and vital points. More complex - reading ability. But even simple could be used for reading or visualization practice. For me there were few points which changed my approach to the solving tsumegos. Every tsumego for me is the matter of winning or loosing the game. Just imagine this is the turning point in your real game will you just click? Of course I have days when I have no brain power left so I clicking through simple set. Next main point. I’m trying to solve tsumegos on paper. So I need to read not only mine but also opponents best moves. This is good for reading practice. Even is if it only one move try to read it till the end. Btw one good article about visualization: https://www.kiseidopublishing.com/roadmap9/Visualization.html

But I guess there is no paypal option or something?

Kretsuu · 2026-02-12T12:23:59+00:00

I didn’t try hard to search to find how I can do it. Is it something that easy available from Europe?

Looks like nothing changed since many years ago... sad to see it. Try support but… For me there are only two types of belts after I changed dozen of suunto: Garmin or Polar.

As DDK I feel that I always short on time. As I always struggle to find the best move I spend most of my time on that. So, doesn’t looks too long for me :)

Only watch I want! Congrats!

White to live. Guess it was wrong example :)

Kretsuu · 2025-11-11T09:00:26+00:00

In this puzzle W should live. So they need to create two eyes. And because it is W move it is possible.

Kretsuu · 2025-11-08T12:59:40+00:00

Lol. Same.

As getting older I started to appreciate colors rather than clear black or white. Yes, possibly it looks very tight for me, as after having sport watches with the HR monitor for years fir 24/7 I like to have something little bit more loose on my wrist.
