====== Go ======

The closest thing I played as a kid was [[Pente]]. [[:people:Jeff Hinschberger]] played Go so I learned a little in undergrad.

I've wanted to learn more for a while, so during our 2021 holiday I picked up a Go book at Powell's, and I've started playing regularly online in January 2022. I'd like to rank up to 9k. I'm playing on https://online-go.com ([[https://online-go.com/player/1100636/|profile]]).

I've got a list of my biggest [[go:mistakes]], hoping I can learn from them.

===== Progress =====

  * Jan 10, 2022: 17.8k ± 2.0 (28 games, mostly 9x9)
  * Jan 24, 2022: 16.5k ± 1.5 (60 games, mostly 9x9)
  * Feb 4, 2022: 15.4k ± 1.4 (71 games, mostly 9x9)

===== Resources =====

This series of self-guided demos seems very good:

A little painful to browse on a phone though.
