Black, White, and Wood.: December 2005
http://flamingstones.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Black, White, and Wood. Sunday, December 18, 2005. Weakest part of my game. No matter how hard I try, how lightly I try, I always seem to fall behind in opening. Opening is difficult for me, because nothing is even set. Middle game is much easier, because more things are set. Somehow, I keep overexerting myself during the opening, and I have to learn how to hold back, but question is.how to hold back? One game, I was extremely behind in opening, but somehow.I got ahead just enough to win. 3 How settled b...

Black, White, and Wood. Monday, July 24, 2006. How to read, and how to make it stick. Man, reading is interesting for me now. Often, I found myself reading about 20-30 moves deep for many different situations, but however.when I'm done reading, I found myself unable to remember what is the best line, and what is the right candidate for what I'm reading. From what I can see, easiest part is reading. Hardest part is convincing yourself which line is best, and which line is safest. How to improve on this?

Black, White, and Wood.: March 2006
http://flamingstones.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Black, White, and Wood. Monday, March 27, 2006. Burn, Pillage, and Blunder. Yes, you read this correctly. Burn, Pillage, and Blunder. Opponent's stone suddenly flies in and takes its rightful place. You're looking at it. And going dammnit. Blunder. A gigantic group just died. Only because of that small lapse of concentration. Anything could swing back. Apparently, I'm glad that I'm not alone, because Chang Hao, a professional player from China apparently have the same problem. He actually said in a r...

Black, White, and Wood.: May 2006
http://flamingstones.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_archive.html
Black, White, and Wood. Monday, May 01, 2006. Most difficult part of go is subtlety. Subtlety is what puts us apart from professional players. It's also what puts us apart from high dan players. Think back to all forcing moves that you made. How many of them are necessary? Are they that important? Do you even need them? Think back to that big wall you made. Did you needed to push one more? Or can you just tenuki, and work with wall from distance? If I hit with shoulder, would that help me or him more?
