I played a few 9x9s with a friend and had a blast talking out positions, but we are on vacation right now so time isn't a factor. I play at our local club every week. Usually 1 or 2 games plus an hour or two of review and looking at joseki, opening positions with other players. Daily tsumego takes ~15 minutes. I try to play 2-3 serious games a week online. Some kind of study, whether Youtube lectures, studying fuseki or reading is maybe 2 hours a week. So that's probably ~9 hours a week. But I'm in a try hard period trying to get to 1 dan. Whatever you like doing spending time on is probably the best way to make sure you find time to play/ study. No one is above studying tsumego, but whatever keeps you energized for more, whether blitz, a serious game, Youtube or reading, enjoying the time spent is the most important thing I'd be more than happy to help you review games too!

Excellent comments and perspective from.both of you, thanks. I think I'm gonna try to do some 9x9 blitz even if it's not "true" go

I feel the same, I play go about 5 hours a year so I'll always suck but I've given up on my dreams of going pro. I just read books and sometimes I play with my kids, and maybe someday I'll make a Go friend and actually improve.

Longtime friend started playing a lot and so I've been getting back into this, I played a bunch like 12 years ago and got up to 5-6k, then basically 1-2 games a year. Having a lot of fun and seem to be around 9-10k now. guess the ranking drop is not as bad as it could be - my early game decisionmaking has taken a hit, but my reading isn't too bad. Hopefully I can get through some big mistakes and slither my way back to where I was before by just sticking with it.

ITGO isn't a very active server on KGS just FYI. You can find some of us on Discord and I'm happy to play. OGS is the more popular server these days I believe.
