the 6 kyu barrier

Post by phillip1882 »

so after being stuck for 6 years at 6 kyu, i finally seem to have moved up a rank or two. I'm currently playing between 5 and 4 kyu under a new account at kgs. *hallelujah* i don't feel any better though is the weird thing. the only thing I've been doing differently is reading out ladders more often.
hit me up at phillip19 if you want a game.

The main signal to me that I've improved is when I can spot more of my opponents' slow moves than normal.
