Online playing schedule: When I am in a mood for Go :D
Thomas Jefferson taught me to always write down notes when I am reading a book. Since I will be reading a lot more Go books since I want to improve, I thought of posting my notes here and hope someone else to benefit from them too.

I will of course post games and stuff and resources that interest me and believe will benefit other people as well. I do not believe one can improve by playing lots of games or by solving lots of tsumego, so mostly my posts here will consist of book notes and strategy concepts. I believe this is the way to go! :study:

Oscar Wilde told me: "Education is an admirable thing. But it is well to remember from time to time that nothing that is worth knowing can be taught."

Which books are you going to read?

Nice quote.

Currently reading "Strategic Concepts Of Go - By Yoshiaki Nagahara"

I found so many mistakes in my strategy that made me wonder how the hell I reached 7kyu :D

I always preferred:

"We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." :)



I love the journal title by the way.
