Post subject: | Slipping to Shodan- |
Hello, guys! I'm Suma, and I want to work my way to Shodan within a year. I play 14k IGS, 12k KGS, and 13k WBaduk. Study Plan: 30 problems on Monday (L&D) 15 problems Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. (Tesuji) Practice Joseki and Fuseki for 30 minutes- Friday. 5 games a week. (Try for 1 on KGS, 3 on IGS, 1 on WBaduk, every other weekend 10 KGS). This may not be so consistent, as I have school. |

How refreshing to met a young person who is not aiming for professional in two years! |

Just played a KGS game, will break the rules for this week and as I have a computer right now, play a bunch of KGS. This game brought me down to 14k? Completely misread in upper left, all of it died, and failed to beat the bottom right, so resigned as I would've lost anyway. |

If you're splitting tsumego by day, why not do tesuji instead of 100% life and death? |

At least have the courtesy to spend more time thinking than what will be required by anyone responding. |

A reason I played fast and replied slow is I had something I had to do quickly, but I wanted some practice, then some suggestions. |

Please stop making excuses and re-read what others wrote.You can practice all the blitz you want, and you did get your suggestions: see the notes in the SGF, and re-read what DrStraw wrote. Please stop wasting people's time. If you want to play blitz, play all you want, but don't ask for comments. At your level, I recommend you just play, play, and play. Play tons of games. Play 100 games. What you need the most now is experience. |

Honestly, I don't want this stuff on a study thing. I just had to take a few pieces of trash (A loveseat and some garbage) so please don't comment this. And back to the topic, I suppose I do need some experience as I haven't played much in a while. I need to get on track. |

Hi, Suma! I can understand some of your frustration in the comments from some of the stronger players (as they do come off as a little bit harsh). Please understand that these players have the best of intentions towards you. It's often hard to get a newer Go player to slow down and concentrate on the advice given, leading to endless loops of the same advice over and over. Those that have been around for quite a while on this forum spend quite a bit of time reviewing games, and often there is little appreciation shown for the time taken to review (many of these players will spend an hour or more examining your game if they feel you've taken the time to try and understand your own mistakes and feel that their effort will be of good use). Now, let's put some of that behind us and talk about two things: 1) Taking your time The main reason that you are hearing multiple reviewers talk about this is because going quickly means thoughtless mistakes. It is not useful for you or for the reviewer to try and identify which mistakes were made because you weren't thinking and which mistakes are genuine gaps in your understanding. For this reason, posting games that you played very quickly in are not good candidates for whole reviews. With this type of game, you are better off taking a good amount of time reviewing it yourself and then asking very specific questions about positions, rather than the whole game. You will still probably get less out of this than you would out of a good review of a thoughful (long time-settings) game. So, my advice to you in this respect would be to look at all your games yourself and try to answer your own questions about it, then post your specific questions and any thoughts you might have. If you want a full review for a game, decide that before the game and try to take all your allotted time to avoid thoughtless mistakes. 2) This particular game I did, in fact, look through your game. As a more intuitive-style player, I'm not really a great reviewer, so take whatever I say with a grain of salt. That being said, I'll highlight some of your moves and try to give some pointers on the opening part of the game ... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Those are my suggestions. It took me 30 minutes just to review the first 20 moves for you, and there's probably far more I could say if I had more time. Briefly glancing through the game, I think you would benefit more from some solid teaching games with a good teacher, rather than haphazard reviews on games that are a mess by move 20. |

There's no reason to yell at SumaW for asking for comments on a blitz game. If you don't want to comment the game, don't comment it. Anyway, here's my comments.. |

Thank you, I'll take the tips. I've been studying problems and teaching my sister how to play. I'll play more games at the end of this week. |
