Allow me to introduce myself a bit. I've been playing go avidly for about a year and a half now, and have finally reached what could be called the entrance hall to shodan.
I'm starting this blog because my love of go only gets stronger as time passes, and I want to share the lessons that I've learned with others. Even more than that, I want to hear the thoughts of other players on the game, study, and play in general.
I'm currently the founder and president of a go club at the University of Oklahoma (OU). I started the club one year ago, and since then have taught go (on some level or another) to at least 50 people.
My most recent focus in my personal studies has been:
study of pro games
study of the 4-4 (star point) opening move
odd plays in the opening
more precise counting in the middle-game and endgame
At the time, I'm struggling with understanding how to play a very flexible fighting game, how protecting territories from invasion can devalue them, and how to imaginatively and forcefully produce a winning situation by attacking weak groups.
Welcome to my blog! I hope that you enjoy it, learn something, and continue to enjoy your personal travels through the many mental landscapes of the go board.
