So, maybe I'm saying you are concentrating on some parts of your game you already know about; and you have too many "unknown unknowns" for your level, which is quite good, of course. I'd like to be helpful, naturally. A way I have put this in the past is that players should "try to get into better positions" rather than "try to play the positions they currently get into somewhat better".

Interesting! I agree that there are many "unknown unknowns" that I have. However, it seems natural to me that, when I do a self-review of the game, I can't comment on these "unknown unknowns", since they are "unknown" to me. For that, I thank those that have contributed on this thread.

However, perhaps I'm stubborn sometimes. What I mean by this is that, supposing there are "unknown unknowns" that one of you guys reveal to me, it is difficult for me to blindly accept it as correct. Usually, I have to interpret the advice in a way that is consistent with what I already think I know.

So it is certainly a dilemma that I have these "unknown unknowns", since I cannot determine them myself, and am even perhaps reluctant to accept them when they are pointed out to me.

Maybe I should tone down my internal filter for rejecting ideas that aren't consistent with what I already know...?

I think that this question of 'unknown unknowns' is very important for all of us. It interferes with our every attempt to improve. I have literally hundreds of Go books. But when I think about it, all my thematic books (as opposed to player collections for example) were purchased with the idea that they would help me with some 'known' that I should improve or a known (i.e. recognizable) unknown that I should learn. Any book that is about my unknown unknowns is still on the bookstore shelves because after all why would I buy that book? It doesn't have any (known!) connection to my Go.

So what to do? How do we study what we don't know that we don't know?

I am occasionally seized by go nihilism.

"This is the correct move in this situation!" Unless it is incorrect, in which case the correct move would be correct instead. Also this other move would be more or less equally correct but lead to a different game.

So what to do? How do we study what we don't know that we don't know?

Clearly statistical analysis of patterns in our losses. How hard could that be to do?

This is where other people come in? Through great effort you might be able to re-invent the wheel yourself but in general for most improvement comes from being exposed to how others do it. It's still a lot of work though, just passive exposure only gathers the low hanging fruit.

I mentioned it a little bit earlier, but it is bothering me now that this study journal is only comprised of my games, lately. If I'm only posting games and reviewing... Well, I am "studying", but it's more of a "playing" journal, with some brief review.

So I guess I'll continue the same format, but add a study plan each week. What a better time to start than the beginning of the week? I'll try to play a couple of games each week, as usual, because I have enjoyed the discussion that has come about from the review so far.

Week of April 12, 2015
1. Pro games - A few posts ago, it became clear that I neglect pro games. Why not try memorizing a few? I aim to memorize three games this week. I will post saying whether or not I memorized them.
2. Go problems - I want to focus on some problems that I haven't done before. I've gotten quite familiar with a couple of go books, so I recognize the shapes easily. This week, I will start on "The Profound and Mysterious", Book 1, translated by Cho Hye-yeon. I will indicate how many of these problems I successfully solved.

I look forward to having more formal go study once again. Maybe it will help me recover from my recent episode of craziness

Progress Report

Today, I did I solved the first 5 problems from "The Profound and Mysterious" during my commute to and from work. I'm still working on Problem 6. They are harder than I thought. Up until now, I typically do easier problems. But why not try some more difficult ones?

I also "memorized" a pro game. The white player is Dosaku. The reason I use quotation marks here is because I realized while transcribing to SGF that there were a few parts that I didn't remember properly. I'd get to a variation, and think, "no, he played here first, didn't he?" So I'd back up and try again. I did this process without looking back at the SGF, but as you can see, there are several variations where I screwed up. I think one of them is close to correct.

Here it is:

And here is the original game:
[/go]

In going over the game, I thought it was easy to memorize, but clearly, there are some issues with ordering that I had while transcribing.

Regarding the problems, I won't post them all, but my favorite is this one:

I solved the problem with the correct answer, which is this:

However, I spent the most time thinking of this variation:

Whereas the given solution given in the book only focused on this one:

And that variation seemed easier for me. It might be because I saw this shape before. It is hard to say.

Anyway, let's see how tomorrow goes. My goal is to memorize two more pro games, and to keep chugging through this book.

I played another game on KGS today. I was white against KGS 2k.

Here's my review.

Overall, the game started OK, I think, but suddenly I put everything at big risk.

Problem Areas.

I listed several variations in the SGF, but I want to focus on these particularly result-changing ones.

I think the marked move is too much. It's too easy for him to cut. Instead, I should just take the stone.

I played above, but my group is really weak. I think this is better:

Because of these issues, the left side turned into a really good situation for him/her. I should have been more careful around here.

When Black cuts with 108 at 1 below, White absolutely has to retake the ko with 2. Black 3 is the only threat left in the lower right. After Black retakes the ko, I like something like 6. If Black replies, ignoring the ko in order to jump to 8 seems interesting.

If White connects the ko later, Black has wasted a move with 1. If Black wins the ko, White is not yet dead in the corner, Black has to play one more move. Black can not finish off the corner in a way that prevents White from getting another sente play around B12. Fundamentally, life in the corner is smaller than the stones on the side. White would much rather make three moves in a row on the outside than live in gote in the corner as should have happened in the game (Black's capture with 118 was trivial, it was still ko). BTW, what was 111 instead of taking the ko?

I played c19 because I thought he would if I took back the ko. I guess it's no big deal.

Also, I agree that the side is more important than the corner. Really gave black a chance on the left.

I assume that 3 below was also on your mind when you played 109 instead of retaking the ko. But that is incorrect reading. White does not mind 3. White plays 'a' as a ko threat next?

Yes, I agree, ez4u. I think my "reading" during the game was more of a feeling than a logical sequence. I have that problem, sometimes. Some sequences I read out more clearly.

Other times, I get kind of a bad feeling about a certain path, so I stop reading.

I don't know why I do that. Probably better to read clearly every time.

Kirby wrote:In fact, probably the only areas that I really study are:

* Go problems (tsumego and tesuji)
* Joseki (sometimes)
* Opening patterns (once in awhile)

About what I figured. I gave an opening pattern because you probably need to study the third, to clear your head. (By the way, if I don't express an opinion on a line, it's because I don't feel strong enough to do so.)

There is a basic principle I give to beginners, that "the empty areas can be the most interesting areas on the board". For more advanced players, I might add "there is a lot of virtual stuff there". But no tesuji.

Anyway, I wouldn't recommend a rigid training plan, because your go needs to "flex".

Thanks, Charles. By this, do you mean that I should be more creative?

(I guess I need to improve my ability to understand comments written in English, too!)

Good News: I broke 2d on KGS! Technically, I've done it once before, but I think it just drifted up, then drifted back down.

Bad News: I played a pretty big blunder this game, because I misread. His bottom got really big. I was only able to redeem myself, because he died.

Here's the SGF file, along with my review.

Please note that I'm a little scared, now. While I've drifted up to 2d once before, I've never won a game as 2d. I'd like to break that barrier. So I need to be very careful next game.

I think the marked move is too small, and hurts the flexibility of the 4th line stone. Instead, I prefer to simply approach the bottom. Maybe wide.
