Streak Ended

I was on a tremendous losing streak. I know that you aren't supposed to focus on winning and losing this early in development but it was getting to me. I think due to the pressures of real life, my Go game completely went out the window. I'm not moving as well either in global strategy or life and death battles. I'm going to try to work a little harder on my game. I checked Go for Beginners by Kaoru Iwamoto out of the library and read it. I almost need to start over from the beginning and go forward.

Next I'll start over on Janice Kim's series on go. Reviews of all books forthcoming. I'm also going to goproblems.com to work on making better decisions in battles. I really want to get better. It said in Go for Beginners, that it takes 1000 games to become a shodan. I am over 100 games in. Maybe 200. I've got a long way to go to get to dan ranks.
