So I stopped playing go for a number of months. I can't even remember why. I want to get back into the game, but I keep messing up in games and getting put off.
Advice on getting back into the game?

Maybe that's why you stopped

Re: Getting back into the game?
I remember being quite happy with my level and how it progressed before I stopped. I think I had something come up which meant I didn't have time to play for a few weeks, and then I wasn't at the same level because of the break, so I didn't make it a priority and did other things for a while.daal wrote:Annihilist wrote:So I stopped playing go for a number of months.

Re: Getting back into the game?
Good question: I am 1d-KGS now. If I stop playing now, how and in which time would I decrease. After 1 year 3k? After 2 years 5k? After 30 years 30k?
