Modus Operandi

After playing - again - too many Games, in which i made too many obvious mistakes i decided to bring some structure in my (online-) playing habits.

To improve my Go, i will, from now on, only play two kinds of games, and i will decide which kind of game i`m going to play before i start.

I. Long Serious Games
1. Long thinking time: at least 15 min + 60 seconds Byo-Yomi. 
2. I only play if i`m in the right mood to concentrate myself.
3. I`m trying to avoid stupid mistakes and i think seriously before i move.
4. I review every game, no matter if i won or lost.
5. Every Kifu will be posted here, at least with some few words about the game.


II. Fast "Just For Fun" Games
1. Lightning or fast games.  
2. Everything is "allowed" ... no regretting of bad moves.
3. Can be played in every mood, even without thinking at all.  :-) 

I think this distinction is very useful ... i don`t want to stop playing these fast, and sometimes "stupid" games ... but i want to do it conscious... and if i want to play a "serious" game i don`t want to allow my self to play, at any time, a move without thinking at least some seconds about it`s consequences.

Maybe the kifu of a KGS 6 kyu are not a very interesting thing  ...  but to publish all my "serious" games, helps me to concentrate better while i`m playing them ... it is a psychological thing, because if i know that i`m going to publish them here, i will try harder to avoid shameful mistakes ... :-)

Here is the first serious game , played yesterday at TYGEM.
Some comments are included.

By the way: At the moment i`m  6 Kyu at KGS (eyecatcher),  11 Kyu at TYGEM (eyecatcher) and  17 Kyu at WBADUK (eye4eye).

 Please notice:  I`m not a go teacher and there  might be mistakes, small and big ones, in this analysis.
 I use my brain   as well as Kogos Joseki Dictonary, Josekipedia, Brugo and the Smartgo software (with go4go- and gogod-Database) to  analyse Fuseki and Joseki. Please have fun!
