Life In 19x19

Echoing Boidhre's point I have recently started enjoying Matcha as an adjunct to my Go studies...highly recommended.

My thanks to both Ed and Tim. Very helpful both. I think I get tied up in trying to think of bigger picture that I make these basic and local shape errors. Hopefully that is not too unusual for a beginner...And I'll try to avoid doing the same in future games

Been a while since I've had any completed games worth posting. I've been reading a fair amount, along with doing tsumego most days, and playing mostly correspondence games (slowly it seems) on OGS.

I'd welcome any comments folks have on this game. I think in general I played on the wrong side of ...

Thank you Ed, I will digest!

Well it's been a few weeks and the recent British Go Association 'study group' has just recently concluded on 10 January. I didn't manage to achieve my aim of reaching 20kyu but I'm still pleased with my progress over all, not least as my interest is growing rather than waning.

Thanks I've rejoined the BGA after a 10 year or so absence and will hopefully be able to get along to the Winchester Club on a Wednesday before too long.


I'm still finding my way around the stickies and FAQ stuff so hopefully I'll be able to get my head around posting sgf files etc ...

Thank you for the warm welcome and server suggestions. I'll hopefully get some games in soon so I can get some idea of current playing strength. Have started playing some games against pc using v11 of Many Faces of Go but need to start playing real opponents. Meanwhile I'm catching up on reading ...

Hey everyone,

Short-time lurker on the forum and returning player (albeit very low level!).
