Does anyone know where I can find the common terminology used in Go, like a library? I was reviewing a game yesterday and discovered it's rather hard to keep up when I don't know certain terms. Help would be much appreciated!

This was just asked recently in the Beginner's forum. Here's the thread: http://www.lifein19x19.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=791

There's a good list of terms posted there.

Not a problem. It never hurts to ask, and there's always a few different places where things might be found.

Your signature... should be "Urgent before big!" or even "Urgent in sente!" or even "Miai is godly!"

For 28k, I think remembering "Big points!" will get you far. Urgent points aren't nearly as urgent before you get to the point where your opponents start to learn how to profit from attacking. If, at 28k, you identify big points and make a goal to get them when you have an opportunity, you won't be 28k anymore.

Miai is even harder to implement into one's game than a recognition of urgent points. Even I forget about it a lot (note to self: must identify miai more often).

(another note to self: must focus on improving through my actual gameplay. Play more! Get off the 1k/2k fence and back toward the 1dan line!)

Anyway, I digress... maybe I shouldn't be posting at three in the morning? (note to self...)

Well, on KGS I'm 22K. I mistakenly thought I was weaker than I actually am. Even though that isn't much of an improvement lol
