Teaching game at the chess club.

I went to the chess club today, hoping that I might possibly be able to perhaps play a game, or even get some new people interested in go too. I was delighted to find out that the kid I had played against last week was totally in for a new game. This time he wanted to play on the 13x13 board.

Humility in a game.

First I would like to apologize to JachUGAN for being such a spoil sport, presumptuous in my play and in my attitude last night. I could hardly sleep last night because I had to reflect on our last game. It was supposed to be a friendly game, but turned out I was not being friendly enough.

A different game. Longest I've ever played.

Last night ardesh and I played what can be called fun, weird and long friendly game. Actually it was the longest one either of us have ever played.

ASR League closed, Oulun kesä & Leo's demonstration game.

Yeah! The first month in the ASR League is now officially over!

I can finally take a breather...

Three ASR League games.

I played three games yesterday and this post is primarily for showing them. I will not have much more time this morning, so I will post these now, and some commentary later.

Feelings can be deceiving.

Yesterday's game was an interesting one. I totally thought I was doing pretty good and was feeling very strong from the beginning to the middle game.

Two busy weeks behind.

I simply hate it when I can't play. It is simply not fun. Well I did manage to have two small games when I visited my parents almost two weeks ago.

Played against 4dan yesterday. Cool. (ASR League)

The ASR League is proving to be quite interesting as it gives me a possibility to play against really tough opponents, like CGBSpender 4d.

It could have been better.

I seriously need to learn to fight, my ability read isn't getting better if I always feel scared like I did in this game.

Second game

Today I played my second game in the Advanced Study Room (ASR) League. It was a game against H2SO5 1dan, with no handicap. Needless to say I lost, again, this time by resigning. But in a matter of fact I did get some praise for my fuseki

Yesterday's game. (ASR League)

Last night I played my first game in the ASR League, between me and Rgloaguen 5k. It went fairly well, considering I was playing a non-handicapped match against a 11 ranks stronger player than myself

I'm back!

We did a little visit to my parents' this easter, so I had to take a small break from writing. There wasn't really very much to report since I didn't play any games while I was away. I managed to get my mother, and my wife somewhat interested to Go when I showed them some basic tsumego from The Interactive Way To Go -pages. Hopefully I can play against them too some day.

My first kifu. (SGF)

Here's AmbyR00's first game in KGS, mind you, it's not the first I've ever played, but not very much better. I was white. ;)

AmbyR00 W vs. nobody33 B (Black wins w/ Resignation)

If this comes out right, then I've read these instructions correctly. Thank you Boywing.

Today I unfortunately don't have more time to write. I'm almost sleeping while I sit here writing this. So that's for now, and I hope I can play you all very soon. ^^ /gg
