Hi everyone. I'm a 29yo male from Melbourne. I learned the rules back in early 2011 but for some reason soon lost motivation. Towards the end of last year I picked the game up again and soon found myself hooked. Since then I've been studying a bit and hanging around on Sensei's Library. As far as playing strength goes I describe myself as "abysmal", with a vague hope of graduating to "terrible". My knowledge of joseki is nonexistent, I don't know how to judge which plays are biggest in the middle game, I'm afraid of fights, and I find the opening vague and unforgiving. Hopefully I am not the only person who has had these problems as a beginner, and that I can overcome them with practice and study. Anyway, good to be here. |

Welcome! Don't worry about not knowing joseki... joseki are fun, but they're not worth stressing over. Being afraid of fights, though - you need to pick more and more until you think it's fun!

Agree with jts re: knowing joseki in the early stages. (I confess I still don't know joseki; try to remember them but... . Sigh.) By the way, the following thread provides some discussion about areas of knowledge: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5115 |
