Life In 19x19

i started this game with 3 friends.
of course at start we always wanted to be better than the rest (yeah, we were rivals), but in the end, 2 of them quitted playing, 1 plays every now and then and i am alone on kgs.
The first one has reached 7kyu but didn't get any better and started to get ...

only when it's real hot while playing =)

appear weak
be strong

it doesn't matter how your appearance is ...

SE is awesome!

Features:

99,99% correct, 12d tesuji + L&D function.
Thousands of people already know: SE is trustworthy. When will you start to trust ...

ranks doesn't really matter.
when you play a game, take your time and try to give all you've got and try to win! desperately!.
Don't be afraid of losing this way. It will hurt if you give your all but it's a sweet pain :p
The good thing is: if you gave all and you still lost, means, you did ...

#15 i think move15 is a bit greedy. if you just play normally san/san it's fine for b
of course the exchange was worse for w, because w didnt play in the right direction
what if w18 is at c4?
c4 - d3 exchange and w would face the left side side, then this stone would be misplaced

#33 : i prefer ...

but to be a pro you must start when you are young.

i don't think so. I just think many people think like that and never try.
"I am too old" is just a self-justification for "i am too lazy to try" or "i don't want to spent my freetime with Go" which would be much more honest

but of course if you ...

there are people who care, so i do it.
if you think it doesnt mean anything you can try like: "it was a nice game, thank you for playing"

same meaning behind but even better

well if you pay 650 for maintaince ..
how much costs a cheap new car? (or 1-2yo)

As you mentioned, you don't depend on a car because there is another option: to go by public transportation (even if its bad its still possible). You don't do this because you think that p.t. sucks even more than the ...

No, I have never actually thought I could go pro. However, I will maintain the stubborn delusion of being able to reach pro strength for the rest of my life.

this is no delusion ; )

I think most of people could go for pro level, if they really wanted to.

What's the difference between a strong ...

embarassment about something only hinder your progress (at anything)
if it's embarrassing, then learn it already :p

maybe this little trick works if you cant concentrate for so long:
learn or study especially yose/endgame for some time.
When playing a long game, and you have troubles for concentrating, when entering the yose/endgame phase it's like: "Ah, finally my turn to test my new skills" and you're focused ...

Wow, I'm amazed at how differently everybody sees it. I feel that some of the games are obviously this or that (others I am stabbing a bit wildly and hoping), but lots of guesses by people stronger than me say differently. Do you all feel confident about your estimates too, or do you feel they're ...

I want to try it too ^^

It turns black again if you do something like one of the things mentioned above. (Easiest is just profile-loading)

and grey ...
