Today starts the 5th Rioplatense Tournament, a tournament among Spanish-speaking countries which takes place on KGS. The tournament is paired with McMahon to 6 rounds, which lasts till early October. It's open and handicapped, but I guess that I would need somewhat like 20 stones to beat Fernando Aguilar (one of the strongest latin player, if not the strongest one).

This will be my first Go tournament and, tonight, in the first game, I'll be facing a 7k with 0.5 komi... I guess I won't be an easy game at all... but starting my first tournament with a defeat wouldn't be nice either.

I've given up my sabbatical period on Go and started playing more seriously on KGS. This means that each day I play a couple of serious games against players from my level or correctly handicapped ones. I have yet to lose one of these games (only played 5 on this 2 days of training), but I can tell you that my nervous system is going to collapse during the game, so I won't get my maximum perfomance.
