Yesterday I played my first “regular”, ranked game on OGS after I have fixed my rank with 11k… what else: I played with a SanRenSei opening. (Rec.: Tks to bad guy Rikhon (9k/OGS) pushing me into it (whom I played later on 09/27/2014) as I had no real intention to play on Sunday evening as I play minimum 45 minutes games (+ 5×20 sec. bioyomoi)).
Tks to Dostoevskiy (9k/OGS) for giving me this opportunity. It was a very tough fight with a KO in centre, and a successfully living group by white inside black’s moyo. Therefor I had a very low expectation to win this game (result: b+15.5).
At move 198 the potentials for white were still 0.5 points winning the game. The endgame (yose) made 15 points black came back into the winning zone.
At all it was a uniquly game situation for me I experienced first time that way (after playing more than 300 SRS games).

About LinuxGooo
I am a real Go Beginner… but I like to learn and have fun with. And I fell in love with playing for influence (mainly San-RenSei fuseki, Cosmic style) as white and black.
… 26th Jan 2014 I started on KGS (as 6-7kyu since Sept), another global GO Server on the web. On 4th March 2014 I registrated on OGS (Online Go Server). In July I began to play on Korean servers, on Tygem (10kyu) and on Wbaduk (11kyu).
If possible by time, I like to have reviews and analysis of my games, which helps to progress (beside observing/Kibitzing Dan games). – My special thanks go to different KGS teachers/players for audio lectures and individual reviews: Dsaun (N.Y.), Battusai, TapJoshua (4D), Troll (2D), MXHero (5D), Shygost (3D), Mingjiu Jiang (7P)… not to forget all the other KGS players who offered me their knowledge and shared their personal experiences.
My special tks go to Dsaun for his audio lecture “Shape” (on 22nd Febr 2014) which was the first step into a systemtical learning.
Currently I study with www.321go.org and with the first GO book: “Graded Go Problems for Beginners” (Vol. 1-4) by Kano Yoshinori.
Volume 1: Introductory Problems
Volume 2: Elementary Problems
VOlume 3: Intermediate Problems
Volume 4: Advanced Problems
For individual “offline training” I experimented with and use different bot programmes:
Aya 6.34 (1k),
Oakfoam
GNU Go 3.8 and
Zenith 4.4. better known as Zen (5k-5D)
(Rec.: Running these bots I use as front end (Goban) Drago.)
For editing/rediting SGF files the programme MultiGo 4 is suitable.
Have fun behind the board…
