A rather difficult game
Posted: Sun May 29, 2011 6:26 pm
by nihilo
This was a fun, but rather difficult game for me. The outcome being unclear up until the resignation. Being uncertain of my strength, I hope to learn of my weak areas and some areas for improvement.
As to my current regimen of training, I usually do about a page of tsumego a day. Other than that, I usually have the opportunity to play a few intensive games a week online.
Thanks go out to all who review.

The game was rather difficult for me. keanming explained that he was a rather weak player. He was rusty from a long departure from the game. I played him, and I believe that had I not redoubled my efforts, the game would have been won in his favor.
