It was a pleasure reading your journal. While rereading it I converted a few of your game positions into SL exercises. It's rare to have pro feedback on amateur games.

It's been a pleasure reading/traveling along with you! Thanks for keeping this journal, and for taking all those photos:

Quote:
Except for the losses against the three 5-dan opponents, all of my games this week have left a bit of a foul aftertaste. It doesn't feel good to win when you know you played a poor game. Playing stronger opponents forces me to look for better moves. But why does playing weaker opponents lure me into playing worse?


Consistency is elusive for me as well -- and I often have the same response to winning games.

I almost dropped Shogi once or twice after reading your journal. Really inspiring! Thank you so much! =)

Yeah, it was really above and beyond. I was living in China when I got serious (ish) about go, and I wish I had looked for a teacher. It's good to know how rich the possibilities are there, even for a 'foreigner'.
