Doh!

Well, looks like I missed couple days of blogging. I did intentionally avoid having to write two days ago, but yesterday I just totally forgot. I am a casual player of Go (or Weiqi or Baduk). It's only recently that decided to continue my trips down to Georgia Tech for their weekly Go club sessions. This is an AGA approved chapter and the strongest member is about 1kyu. There are about 4-5 people who attend regularly (not including myself) plus what looks like 3 new recent members (including myself). My strength is around 2-3kyu though I'm never really sure, I have been playing on and off for over 4 years now and the only place I can gauge my rank is through KGS. KGS's ranking system however, has changed quite dramatically from what I can tell. I remember that the first time I took a break from playing I stopped at round 11kyu, after probably 4-5 month later I began again and my rank leveled at around 8kyu. I rosed to 6kyu as I continued playing but again for some odd reason I would stop. Anyway, so I went through this fluctuation about 4 times but each time I would get a better ranking. It feels though as if I was a natural at this game who would spontaneously gets better by not playing. But of course, reality always kicks in when you lest excepts it and my last couple games at the Go club were just absolutely horrendous. From my losses however, I've gain a renewed motivation to get better at this game. I really hope to surpass shodan sometime soon.
