Looking for opponents to help with improving.
Hi, I play on OGS under the name "Saint Ravitt". I'm not asking anyone to change from their favored server but am wondering if anyone on here playing on OGS between the 7kyu-14kyu range (which is what I compete against) would be willing to play some games with me and share thoughts afterwards. Note: I am not looking for a mentor, but rather someone around my same strength to play against often and share new ideas with. Like anything, I believe having peers that are going through some of the same stuff is helpful. If you're on OGS, shoot me a friend request and a personal message and we'll plan up to play (I typically prefer live matches but also play a little correspondence too).
Thinking like a go player during a game of chess is like bringing a knife to a gun-fight. Thinking like a chess player during a game of go feels like getting knifed while you're holding a gun...

Re: Looking for opponents to help with improving.
I usually play 1 hour games with 30 second or 1 minute byo-yomi. I don't like me or my opponent to feel pushed for time.

With those limits I would really feel pushed for time. Anything more than 20 minutes total time for a game and I just can't find the time.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).
