Tuesday night Go

Played my first game against konrad (1 dan) since i've become a 5kyu and won by 15.5, i played a solid game not taking chance and he just could'nt catch up the handicap. Makes me feel solid at the 5kyu level :)

Transcontinental Match

We have started playing a transcontinental team match between our club and a Go club in Seattle USA, things are just starting out but this could get interesting. Will update if anything odd happens.

Quiet

It's been quiet lately with me having lots of assignments and birthdays and blablabla , things will get back to normal from next week.

Hooray!

This post starts 2 weeks ago when I was on a -50 index but feeling ok as an 6kyu, i then played Llyod 2kyu and after winning the close match i moved up to 200 index. Then i played steve 3k in my Western Cape Closed 2nd round game and beat him on scratch, this gave me a huge boost in index and i became a 5kyu YAY!, then not knowing this i played Lloyd 2kyu and Bernard 2kyu both as if i was a 6kyu and winning both games i am now a 5kyu with an 152 index.

200th Game !!!!

I have now officially played 200 games on our SAGA system.

YaY

So last night i got to the Stellenbosch club with Jaco and had some sushi at the local noodle bar, after a relaxing meal Steve asked me if we can play our Western Cape Closed 2nd Round game, Steve is a 3k and I am a 6k kyu, so even if I have beaten him before I was very nervous (All games in WC Closed are even games).
After a eventfull game I won by 9.5 after his komi .... Yippee!!! but now I have to play my nemesis and all time rival in go - Jaco , this will be and epic game but I don't have that much hope of winning :(

Go in Cape Town last night

I played Lloyd who has been promoted to 2k recently with a 4 handicap and after having ups and downs , i eventually counted , realised i was only 1 point ahead , played my 3 sente moves and won by 4.5. Congratulations to Jaco for beating Andrew 1k on a 3 hanicap by resign.
