And rather than thread-jacking with my previous response, I suppose I should confess a few things:

1. I'm terrified of online games and often regret joining the game as soon as we begin playing. (I always play them out, though).

2. I do piles of tsumego and get a little big headed about my attacking ability when in reality, I'm not a strong fighter.

3. It wasn't until a few weeks ago that I knew what a few key words that were adapted into English meant.

Bonus confession: Sadly, those don't fit on meme pictures and I'm not witty enough to condense them.

Log into KGS to play a game, pretend to watch a high level match and log off.

Get back into Go, promise I'm going to play consistently, never play and come back again in six months.

KGS: schultz [?].

Was/is the same for me. Playing correspondence games, first on DGS, meanwhile on OGS, helped me. And I found that my OGA is gone if I “know” the person I’m playing, even if only from a few chats, or perhaps better: if I find there is some sympathy; rank doesn’t matter here, so apparently it is NOT just fear of losing.

And then, two years ago, I got a new job which eats me up, and now I can hardly find the time to play live games on the net.

For me I can’t compare it that way, but I do Tsumego on the iPhone whenever I have to wait somewhere.

Same here.

Same here since I live out in the country; but it has gotten better since I established a regular Go playing evening at my place … sometimes one person comes, sometimes two, and I currently have to give them 13 stones or more, nevermind.

Greetings, Tom
