Post subject:  Notes on shapes etc.
I've been stuck at around 4-5 kyu on KGS for some time now. In order to improve my game I decided to start collecting in one place everything that keeps giving me trouble.

I haven't done almost any tsumego since my beginner days, and I'm finding WBaduk 19-15k problems to be good for me =). I also know probably less than 10 joseki, so there is a lot to improve on the very fundamental levels. I sometimes wonder how I reached the level I'm at currently when I think of my non-existent opening and tsumego...

To get more used to aggressive play, I'm going to play on WBaduk for a while instead of KGS and also grind through the problem collections they have integrated on the server.

I'm mostly expecting to make short entries to lay out variations on different shapes, maybe sometimes a game I found interesting. This is mostly just for my own good, but feel free to comment if you feel like it. I haven't kept any kind of a journal before, so let's see how (in)frequently there will be updates.

Welcome to the wonderful world of study journals!

Out of pure nosiness, how many games do you think you've played, total?

Cheers!

Your comment made me curious and I actually went and checked my game data across my present and expired KGS accounts. The total count appears to be just over 1000 games played. I used to play exclusively at Fast (10 min main time) time settings, but more recently I've mostly played blitz. I don't belong to any go clubs, and my RL games are less than 10.
