you play solid game. impressive.
now i suggest you to play against someone really strong.
they will let you know your mistake by penalize you for every mistake you make.
that way you will be able to reach high dan faster.

playing against sdk is not really helpful for your improvement.

I guess you're talking about a previous game I posted. Here's my 1k game. It's not that great of a game, as my opponent misread a ladder in the early fuseki.


I'm currently in Breakfast's insei league, and enjoy getting wrecked on two stones by him and Ilya.

I made 1d on kgs! I was only a bit over four months late ... but that's mostly due to the atrophy of study habits, along with not being able to play enough games.

Here's the game

Did you ignore the ko threat at w272 because you were sure you would win anyway, or because you were sure you would run out of ko threats first?

Thanks :). Now I have an excuse for all the celebrating.

I really shouldn't have. I was just tired of the ko fighting and decided to end it. I really should have played A13.

I'm sort of hoping to make 3d this year, but will be fine with 2d.

"Redundant's 3d or bust study plan" would sound better. :)

Congrats dude, I'm hoping to make the breakthrough myself before too long, but we'll see.

Nice job!
Now comes the hard part - don't be satisfied with your progress. Keep going! :tmbup:
