heading backwards
Over the past month, I have been reading Kagemaya's Fundamentals of Go, Breakthrough to Shodan, and my new copy of Graded Go Problems for Beginners, Vol. 4.
What is interesting (and frustrating) is that as I attempt to make sense of the material, and to integrate it into my play, my ability is suffering greatly.
Recently I felt I had a breakthrough, and was winning game after game. But now I find that my play has deteriorated. I lose capturing races, misplay fuseki and joseki, and generally muck up.
I played my first game of Rengo last night, and I absolutely ruined my team's play. I feel like my sense of direction has been completely upset.
So I'm playing a lot of free games until the world stops spinning.
