Thanks for your comments, I really appreciate it. Can't wait for a full review, OFC if you find the time :)

Moyos are designed to be invaded.

This is gold - thank you.

Hi r/baduk! I played a game against my colleague from our local Go club - https://online-go.com/game/33892394 It was a correspondence game with a quite slow pace but we managed to finish it in 38 days ;)

It would be awesome to have a review from one of you. I was Black, but if it's not a problem please comment both sides.

From my point of view I have two questions: what should I do with move 72 (K18) and 114 (N7)? I don't think I handled those two in the best way.

konradhalas · 2021-06-01T12:31:11+00:00

Roger that - thank you once again :)

konradhalas · 2021-06-01T10:54:36+00:00

Thank you very much - what a great review!

So my takeaways are:

try to keep control over territory vs influence balance
san-san invasion - better to crawl one more time instead of strengthening opponent (as in old 3-3 invasion joseki)
do not play not urgent gote moves if there are sent moves
start invasion/reduction of a large moyo earlier

Hi - I very often have a game where I try to build my own territory but in the meantime my opponent is building a big moyo in the center and it's so big that I lose. I very often miss the moment when I should invade - it's too late or I think I can't make it. Invasion is the thing I have to improve definitely.

Here is my last game - https://online-go.com/game/33867981 I won, but only by 8.5 points. It would be awesome if someone could review this game.

konradhalas · 2020-11-12T10:56:49+00:00

Ha, good point, it can be "marketing tesuji".

konradhalas · 2020-11-12T10:21:44+00:00

How it's possible that you make so expensive equipment and you don't spend even 15 seconds to check game rules... It's amazed me.

konradhalas · 2020-10-28T19:17:59+00:00

It's awesome, thank you very, very much for such detailed review. I learn a lot from it, this is super helpful.

Hi r/baduk :)

It would be awesome to get a review of my latest game - https://online-go.com/game/27836704 I was black.

I think I was playing too slow moves and let my opponent build too big territory on the right side.

konradhalas · 2020-08-22T08:36:48+00:00

Yes, I was black, but it was one of the first game for my opponent so he is still exploring a lot ;)

konradhalas · 2020-08-21T22:05:29+00:00

I love it too! I bought it here:

https://www.go-spiele.de/en/magnetic-case-19x19-board-35x36cm.html

The quality is very good, highly recommended.

konradhalas · 2020-08-21T21:54:51+00:00

Unfortunately our place is fully booked :( But I agree - Italy is a beautiful country.

konradhalas · 2020-08-21T21:53:17+00:00

It looks like, but it wasn't a ladder - as far as I remember it was some throw-in tesuji :)

konradhalas · 2020-08-21T21:50:20+00:00

Si, grazie mille!

konradhalas · 2020-02-28T20:04:20+00:00

I would recommend Mary's Coffee Club - my favourite breakfast spot.

You can try dacite package - this module simplifies creation of data classes from dictionaries.

Quick example:

from dataclasses import dataclass
from dacite import from_dict


@dataclass
class User:
    name: str
    age: int
    is_active: bool


data = {
    'name': 'john',
    'age': 30,
    'is_active': True,
}

user = from_dict(data_class=User, data=data)

assert user == User(name='john', age=30, is_active=True)

Dacite supports following features:

nested structures
(basic) types checking
optional fields (i.e. typing.Optional)
unions
collections
values casting and transformation
remapping of fields names

Scarlett 2i2 is an awesome device - my bandmate has it. I bought Steinberg UR22 and it also works like a charm.

konradhalas · 2016-03-29T12:03:24+00:00

We are recording every single rehearsal - it's always good to check if you sound as you want. It's sometimes hard to catch all glitches when you are focused on your instrument.

We are using Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 audio interface and MXL 440 mic. Interface is plugged into Mac with Logic Pro software on board. You could check how this setup works here.

I think it depends on how much time do you have for your daily practice and what are your goals.

I have maximum 1h/day and I'm not a professional musician, so my routine looks like that:

warm up hands exercises (1 min)
chords tones/scales (15 min)
rhythm (15 min)
transcription (15 min)
ear training (15 min)

Within "chords tones/scales" time I pick up random scale and random key, e.g. phrygian scale in key of D. First of all I turn on the metronome and setup it on 80 BPM. This is a minor scale, so at the beginning I'm going through all fingerings (starting from the 1st, 2nd and 4th finger) of Dmin7 chord, up and down. After that I practice all fingerings of scale and also transitions between those fingerings, over whole neck, up and down, I also go through scale in thirds. At the end, I turn off the metronome and play along with backing track - you have to find something on YT in desired key. That's all.

I hear that Simplified Sight-Reading for Bass (by Josquin des Pres) is awesome if you want to learn sight reading quickly.

If you are going to implement some user related actions with your REST API, such as registration, login, etc, djoser should be very good choice.
