Back in the Game!

Finals are over!



Now I delve deep into Go (and Japanese -- と日本語), in preparation for Japan and in an attempt to get to a solid 3 dan by the end of the summer.

Yesterday I beat Mr. Park in an even game for the first time at CPL!  He's 4 dan.  :)  Technically, it was no komi but I won by resignation.  It's definitely not indicative of my tournament strength though.  I play much too slowly.

More importantly, I have some serious games lined up for this week.  I'm resuming play in AYD, with my first game on Tuesday.  (But I'll only play for one month, because I'll be leaving for Japan after that.)  I'm arranging to play a game online to be reviewed by Guo Juan at the end of the week.  And An and I are going to try to play this week at Diesel at some point.  Plus, there are all the regular MGA meetups.

It's good to be back!
