PinGo: Best two out of three
http://pin-go.blogspot.com/2012/04/best-two-out-of-three.html
Monday, April 30, 2012. Best two out of three. Today I played three games against someone I never met. I was browsing the English room on KGS, and he was the same rank as me (although I had a? Since I haven't played in a while), and his game was without a time limit. I like that for a warm up. He won the first game, and invited me for a second, in which I prevailed. We then decided to play a third game for the match. I'll leave the result of the third game secret. :). I didn't think he had to resign ther...

PinGo: A neat connection problem
http://pin-go.blogspot.com/2012/05/neat-connection-problem.html
Sunday, May 20, 2012. A neat connection problem. Black has to connect all 3 stones:. I have found this problem in SmartGo Pro, and it gave me quite a headache. In the end, I couldn't solve it, and felt a bit dumb for it when I saw the solution. '. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). A neat connection problem. How I lost against a 14k and won against a 7k.

PinGo: June 2012
http://pin-go.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 15, 2012. Hello, go lovers! Today I am going to talk about two concepts that I've been trying to work out in my head recently. The first is a form of "passive" play, while the other is "aggresive". I am putting these two words in quotes because they are simply a form of thought. The misconceptions you may get with my (indeed, flawed) terminology are the following:. Now that I have said what I am not. Talking about, let me try and explain what I am. Talking about. :). Let me give you a quick ...

PinGo: There are games you win, and games you learn
http://pin-go.blogspot.com/2012/08/there-are-games-you-win-and-games-you.html
Sunday, August 5, 2012. There are games you win, and games you learn. The proverb is a very important one. It's not easy coping with loss. There are cases, however, of games which you both win and learn from. Today, I had such a game. Ironically, it is these sorts of games that are even harder to cope with than lost ones. I feel very little joy over today's win. Let us at least maximise the "learn" part, then. The attachment at 41 was probably a mistake. I was still panicking about this being a handi...

PinGo: Influenced by influence
http://pin-go.blogspot.com/2012/05/influenced-by-influence.html
Tuesday, May 29, 2012. In Go theory, you will often hear talk about influence and territory. Commonly, you will place stones on the board with one of these two in mind. Which should you pick, and why? The answer I found most sensible is that you should aim for a balance between these two. Now let's see what some of the words in the previous paragraph actually mean. One easy way to understand the difference between influence and territory is to redefine them as "fourth line" and "third line", respectively.
