Improving little by little

For some reason, and without realising it, my level has increased a little bit. On one game this weekend I lost by 0.5 points against a 6k, though I could have won if I had realised I was winning before yose. Improving my "counting ability" is one of the few things I really need to work hard on.

On the other hand, I've realised that I enjoy more and more watching others' games. Above all, the one where high dan players make nice unexpected moves, such as the game I'm posting today.

It was played on Monday evening between two 5d players. It has some cool life and death problems all over the game, right from the beginning there is a very basic one, and, in the latest stage of the game, a very nice and complicated one.

You can watch it HERE.

    It sure is nice to feel you're improving. I've been playing too irregularly over the past few years so it's something I haven't felt in a very long time.

    Well, then I guess you'll probably re-experience it again when you com back to the Go world. I've been on a Go-sabbatical period for around 6 months... and now I've increased somewhat...
