Post subject:  Greetings!

Just signed up and I figured I'd introduce myself!

I'm a relatively new player in the US. I played a little bit in college via a Go club at the university, but interest dropped off when I left school. As fate would have it, one of my coworkers started the club at the university and we've been talking Go for a few months now. He's been sort of a teacher, lending me books, sitting with me for teaching games, and analyzing my games.

I try to play at least one game a night. I'm unfortunately limited to games online as it's rare that I find anyone to play in my area. If I can't get a game in, I read or play against a computer opponent on a 9x9 to keep myself sharp.

While I've got a lot left to learn, my current wall is getting past the mental exhaustion around 100 moves. I tend to get confused during end-game and often don't have any real idea how to continue playing.

I'm looking forward to browsing the forums and interacting. I've been following via RSS for a few months and I definitely like what I've seen! Thanks for such a great community!

Greetings and welcome!

I often play late and so am not sharp as I could be also. Hope you can find someone to play in person.

GL.

Hey. I hear ya about the concentration span/late-game tiredness thing... I've had a couple of games go to pieces now that way, Go is certainly a mental workout :P
