C3 isn't the start of any good result for black, true, but C5 is the start of several equal variations. I'd play L6 at L5 instead, but I'd also consider attempting a forcing play at P7 instead. If I were trying to play honestly I'd press at C6 instead of L5 or P7, since white should have extended to C8 or D7. C6, B6, C7, B7, C8, B8, C9.. white can push from behind all day on 2nd line to your advantage. Even if he lives that way and takes sente to play a big point or seek stable life on the bottom, the thickness you get from that result gives you a convincing advantage. The result to E5 was terrible for black!

I like 5 - 10 minutes main time and then 30 second byo-yomi. I run into time trouble, but that discourages wasting time thinking about things unnecessarily. If I don't know what to do in too many places in a game, it means I should be playing more straightforward moves. Once the game is won or lost, it usually becomes a bit easier to pinpoint the mistakes and figure out why a position was so hard to think about for the next time around. Solving life & death and tesuji problems makes playing quickly much easier! e: Note I am playing 20+ correspondence games on OGS so really what I like to do is agonize about positions for weeks on end, I am a hypocrite

At low dan level joseki are a comedy of errors. I think you'll have to take a certain amount of pleasure in learning some joseki variations and punishment to progress in the game. A disaster in every corner adds up to a lost game, and even a properly played but poorly chosen variation in a single corner can decide the result of a match. There is an incredibly large gap between an expert player and a beginner, and at any given level of ability a bit of extra joseki knowledge can help you progress further, but is not strictly necessary. New joseki are developed by professional players all the time, and the judgement of what constitutes joseki and what does not changes through the years as well. If you can read well enough to get equal or better results than your opponents (whatever strength they may be) in corner situations, then you don't need to know any joseki at all. If your opponents know many joseki well and you have to read every move as if it were new, you'll probably find yourself at a disadvantage.

gonna drop a link to this bitcoins go server here - https://bitcoingo.io/ if you play games here in the weekly tournament and win any of them, you get some free internet money the guy who wrote the site plays there as steve and is reasonably strong (5d?) and there are some stronger players there as well. you can check previous tournament results to see who they are - all the games are played on even, so disregarding the free internet money it's nice place to get schooled if you can get a game

kind of true, but its game of black and white circles. kgs has better social features, teaching / review function and a much larger active playerbase. ogs is prettier though

Zekky posted:I just played a game where I felt like I was doing well, but I didn't end up with much territory at the edges. I think I focused too much on blocking instead of aggressively placing stones. It seemed like I should have been able to achieve more with the position I had around move 75. Would anyone be willing to review the game? It was played on KGS but I'm not sure how to link to it. Download the game from KGS, upload the SGF to here: http://eidogo.com/

xopods posted:The fact that RL amateur ranks only go up to 7d should be a tip-off that a KGS 9d is someone who, although strong at Go, has equal knowledge of KGS's absurd rating system, an unhealthy interest in rating, and no shame. If KGS didn't hard cap ratings at 9d, I'm pretty sure we'd have a few "15d" by now. Or he is Andy Liu, one of the first new american professional players.

Even in these sadly diminished times, if you hold KGS 9d and can play competitively against most of the other KGS 9d on the server, you can entertain a professional player (or you are one, or have been one in the past - many KGS 9d accounts are owned by professional players). That's some pretty overstated hate for an essentially sound ranking system.
