So, it's that time where we all make resolutions for the new year and hopefully try to keep them. However, I figured we could apply this to Go. So, what are your Go resolutions for the 2012 year?

Mine are:
1. Play more.
2. Reach 1 Dan.
3. Create a Go Club at TCC (college).

Reaching 1 dan is a resolution you plan on doing?

My resolutions are much more humble: I want to reach 5 kyu again, and set myself on the road to 4 kyu.

I don't know if I'll reach it, but setting the target there will make me a better player. It's not the first time shodan is in my NYR list ;)

Many years ago, I resolved to never make any more resolutions. I've done that resolutely.

I am still 7kyu just not for long. :rambo:

By the way I don't know if 1986 is checking the fourms but I feel like this would be the type of thing he would want to be part of, and he is about our level I think.

Good luck! Although you all have an advantage. So here, you all stop playing until I catch up.

- Still be playing Go at the end of the year
- Improve a bit, specifically my knowledge of tesuji and life and death, also play several hundred games
- Make a Lego Goban (floor board) - not full size, just 19 by 19 'bumps' across - then keep it on my desk at work. :D
