That Mechanical play is the bane of progression. You have to exercise your calculation muscle every game, every move. One thing is being told this, another thing is realizing it for yourself. Needless to say realizing it for yourself is much more powerful. Anything not realized by myself feels fake and shallow. That's also why Imitating other people's moves is not an option for me.
Very very true, I think. Playing even 'obvious' moves casually is an awful mistake (that is very easy to make).
I also want to ask the same question as Osvaldo! Would you like to schedule a weekly serious game/review? I'm trying (very unsuccessfully) to break past 2d on KGS recently. (Actually, same question to Osvaldo, Sodesune if you're interested).
