Aphelion and I will be playing game 1 Sunday at 3pm Eastern time.

I won my last game with Redstick, giving me a 2-1 lead. I was white.
EDIT: Our next game will instead be monday night at 8pm est.

Due to personal life creeping in I will have to postpone my game 1 with Redundant. We will probably try to reschedule it for next week.

I won my last game with Redstick, winning the series 3-1. SGF is below


So now I play SoDesuNe!

Yay! : ) Sadly, I'm booked until Friday next week and on the weekend (3./4.) I possibly have one important match, too. But we figure something out!

Looking forward to it!

My "guide" to become stronger in Go

I blame the above loss on G13. Anyone have any other input?

I don't like B4. The slide doesn't make sense when the extension is already taken away. It gives Black the corner without giving you a base. I would tenuki or dive into corner.

I'm not really stronger than you, so take it with a grain of salt : )

I think this is too passiv, when neglecting to play in a corner. \
Black can play Q3 later on which results in bad shape for White. \
Furthermore while Black has potential development on the right \
side due to his fourth line stone on Q6, your potential development \
is rather small due to the third line.

Your idea of surrounding his bottom left group is good, but I \
think you should also be aware off what the Mini-Chinese-Fuseki \
is about (my opinion ^^). You are building up a framework, which \
purpose lays in inviting your opponent to invade. Then he will \
be at a disadvantage because he can't make a bases there. You're \
task should be to benefit from his struggle for life.

My "guide" to become stronger in Go

I am facing a scheduling dilemma here. The time difference between me and Redundant means that neither one of us can play during weekdays. And since this is my last month in Europe, I am have trips planned for the next 3 weekends. I can try to access Internet during this time, but I can't be certain that we can manage to get a game in,

Can you guys wait for 07/17 when I get back to the States? If not I am ok with resigning the series.

It's up to Redundant if he wants to wait or accept your resignation.

But with the delay I'd say it probably makes sense for the loser of your series to be eliminated especially since if they drop to the losers bracket and win it will just result in a rematch. The delay shouldn't be too big a deal though since there will have to be an additional round in the losers bracket anyway. And neither of the two series' has begun yet.

and SoDesuNe. Thanks for your comments. I found your comments very helpful, perhaps because we are about the same strength.

I'm pretty sure if we drop down to the loser's bracket I will be back in the States and in the same timezone. We'd be able to finish games fast then.

I'm perfectly fine waiting until a time opens up.

Nikolas73 and I have now played our first game. I took white and Nikolas73 took black. Here's the game:



The result was W+R, so the series is 1-0 to me for now. We will play our next game around 21:00 CEST tomorrow.

Aphelion and I will play in about a half hour.

White (redundant) won the first game of Aphelion vs. Redundant by resign.

Sorry for taking so long to report this - Padic and I played game 3 on Thursday, somehow I won by half a point. Padic is leading 2-1 and we will play game 4 tonight at 5pm Pacific (in about 3 and a half hours from this post).

As usual, thanks to Shadonra for reviewing.

Here is the SGF:


EDIT: Oh dear. Sorry Padic, I got our game mixed up with another one - it was supposed to be at 12pm Pacific, not 5pm, right? If you are reading this, please check your KGS messages.
