Jim (Left) and David (right) two of the club's stronger players discuss their finished game, while Leonard observes.
Last night I made it to my local go club’s weekly meeting. Unfortunately, it’s been a few months since I taken a Thursday night and just played.
Turn out this week was light with only six players. Apparently, last week the numbers were double or triple that.
I had the pleasure of playing David, one of the club’s dans. Both games were handicapped at 9 stones. The first games resulted in B+6 with David pointing out that I had played too conservatively in several instances.
The second game resulted in W+12. My error was in trying to save a group of three stones. I over invested in this attempt not once but twice.
David as also kind enough to spend another 30 minutes walking though some opening sequences with me.
Finally, I met Ryan, a new member of the club who is about 14 kyu. I’ll look forward to getting to know him better and to playing some go!
Overall a pleasant evening devoid of stress and overblown expectations. I’m learning.
