[Seattle Go Center] This Sunday: Strong Players' Study Group!

Hi all,

This Sunday, September 27th, from 1pm - 5pm, will mark the first meeting of the Strong Players' Study Group at the Seattle Go Center. This group will be focused on dan-level players who are working to improve their game through collaboration with other similarly-motivated individuals.

During Kim Myungwan 9P's workshop here in August, he emphasized three essential ways to improving one's go skills:

1. Play many games against strong opponents
2. Study life and death seriously
3. Discuss & share ideas with other go players

In this new study group, we will focus on these three ideas in pursuit of the divine move. I don't have a specific plan/curriculum in mind; my hope is that we can bring our own games/problems to the study group and enjoy the benefit of having another set of eyes give feedback and advice. Of course, we will also play games, but with an emphasis on sharing ideas and reviewing together after the game is over. We may work through a rigorous course of life & death problems if there is enough interest.

In summary: if you consider yourself dan-level or dangerously close to dan-level, get in the habit of coming to the go center on Sunday afternoons. Together, everyone achieves more!

Note - the plan is to meet every Sunday afternoon, except during special events, such as tournaments & Kuma sensei lectures, so we won't meet on Sunday, October 4th.

Cheers!
Peter Nelson 5D
