Winning Streak

Immediately after ending the 5-game losing streak, I went on a 9 game winning streak, which ended last night. I am slightly disappointed in that this is the 4th or 5th 9 game winning streak I've had, and I was again unable to extend it to 10 games. But any 9 game winning streak is a great thing! Such a streak typically signifies real improvement; it means I am playing on a 2k level (at least during the streak) and hopefully will reach 2k soon. Improvement typically comes in bursts, at least for me....there are periods of very slow or no improvement followed by shorter periods of fast improvement. The lastest improvement for me I think has come from a better understanding of thickness, of staying connected, and separating your opponent's groups, as mentioned in the last post.

Now some non-Go stuff: I passed the Series 65 exam for investment adviser representatives that I've been studying for all summer. That lifts a lot of stress from me! I'm not sure if I'll actually use this though.....we'll see.

Also, it appears I'll be going back to school on Saturday, not Friday, so I will be at church this Friday.
