2012 Go Resolutions

Post by hailthorn011 »

So, it's that time where we all make resolutions for the new year and hopefully try to keep them. However, I figured we could apply this to Go. So, what are your Go resolutions for the 2012 year?

Mine are:
1. Play more.
2. Reach 1 Dan.
3. Create a Go Club at TCC (college).

Reaching 1 dan is a resolution you plan on doing?

My resolutions are much more humble: I want to reach 5 kyu again, and set myself on the road to 4 kyu.

I don't know if I'll reach it, but setting the target there will make me a better player. It's not the first time shodan is in my NYR list ;)

Many years ago, I resolved to never make any more resolutions. I've done that resolutely.

Count me in (and Leyleth, too). I'm 7 as speedchase, Leyleth's 6 (grazing 5) and you're 8... 1-2-3 Go?

I am still 7kyu just not for long. :rambo:

By the way I don't know if 1986 is checking the fourms but I feel like this would be the type of thing he would want to be part of, and he is about our level I think.
