I have a couple of players around my skill level at my local go club. Right now it seems I might've pulled a stone ahead of them, but if I'm not careful I'm sure they'll shoot right past me again. I really think it does wonders to your game when you have some serious competition.

I used to always lose against trikyou on kgs too. He plays many unusual moves which I don't know how to counter.

If you are who I think you are: we'll see about that!

You haven't played me after the bitter loss at the tournament. After that I've been on fire on kgs, rising 2 stones in strength in rapid succession. I'm eagerly awaiting a rematch.

Me too.

I have a rival, and he knows that I consider him one. The fact that he beats me with 6 stones doesn't change things.
I always try to reduce the handicap, and he tries to increase it. It's a good motivation, and I don't really have a rival around my rank.
