Re: How do I memorize pro games?

About the pattern recognition thing: the same thing goes for your own games. If you recognize the bad moves you will improve too. Perhaps it would be beneficial to memorize your own games.

I read on the interwebs that those emoticons are a Unicode standard and they are considered racist and that is why Apple wants to talk to the Unicode people to add colored ones. ...

Personally I think you may be insulting your reader if you suggest they can not figure out all by themselves the ...

Re: From DDK to who knows where

Good luck!

Remembering a few simple joseki and invasions is fun, and replaying pro games from your favorite player for the first 100 moves until you can do it by heart (one game at a time) is also fun and gives me the feeling I learnt something. However, most people seem to advice to just play a ...

Re: Tsumego App on a mobile device

On my iPhone I am happy with EasyGo. It can import problem collections as zip files and it is easy to edit your own problems. euro 10.99 though for the full version.

What do you generally do with a pincer already in place? And if it is 3 spaces away like in the example, what would be a good move for white?

Re: Nanny on OGS

Thank you very much for the review EdLee. Obviously need to work on basics, so I am first reading Lessons in the Fundamentals of Go by Kageyama again before I continue Attack and Defense. And going to play that Nanny bot again when I have time. Will post here again when I finally win. :cry:

Nanny on OGS

I played against bot Nanny on OGS, 19 Kyu, like me on OGS. At several points in the game I just did not now what train of thought to follow and just tried to play the safest or most valuable point.

Also I have seen Bill Gates playing bridge with a sponsored partner in high-level tournaments. He is obviously interested in Mind Games.
