Heh, you wouldn't say that if you saw some of the other games I've been playing. I had a game yesterday with another 17kyu where after about 80 moves, I was well on my way to losing by 150 points. I resigned and he more or less said, "If you wrote 'gg' why are you resigning?"Bill Spight wrote:As for your being 18 kyu, you demolished that 17 kyu. I did not go through the whole game, but you played on a different level than he did, at least 5 stones better, from what I saw.
The loss was entirely my fault: I played orthodox and when he invaded my 3-3, I didn't extend off of my wall soon enough. He tried to surround it and I would have had to live in the middle. Oh well, live and learn.
I'm going to start a study journal. I used to have one and I found it useful, if frustrating.
