It's a Family Affair

So now I'm not the only one playing go. My wife is picking it up. She is getting good in a hurry. I beat her twice last week with a 9 stone handicap. She is now 20 kyu on KGS. I'll play her again with 9 stones but I should only give her 6.

As for me, you know, gutters and strikes. All my games are close. I'm losing a little more than I'm winning. I really need to work on not allowing my opponent to get thickness. I've lost three games to people I felt I was better than. I would beat them in running battles all over the board only to find they got thickness in exchange and turned that into territory to beat me by 10 stones.

Look for my wife, MaidMarian and me, Alcibaides on KGS.
