There are sometimes I'm think I would be better off playing a even game against stronger players, at least then I would expect to be pounded. And maybe that's the issue. Getting beat with a 9 stone handicap can be fairly demoralizing. And I'm not talking about even high DDK players but within my range.
Thanks!
There's only one thing you need to do in a H9 game...connect all your stones.
