Play go drunk and lose two stones (They must be around here somewhere...)


Last year, I had a target to lose a stone in one sense and gain one in the other. Drinking alcohol, unfortunately, promotes both these ideas, but the wrong way round ...

Let's just translate Mosdef's quote as meaning something more like 'Don't forget the aji of your "doomed" stones'. His words just sound prettier.

For Harlequin:

For who it may conceirn, If You're group losses it's liberteis, its daedd.

Translation: Putting the right stones in the wrong places will piss your opponent off

EDIT: And isn't it ironic that stones sometimes die, right as they're about to live?

I like this one a lot from most-respected-forum-key-player Araban:

'I think I've played enough games to realize that underestimation is the key ingredient to disaster.'

I have to constantly remind myself of this when playing someone with a lower rank.

(Any spelling or grammar mistakes in my post?)

No, except perhaps for the colloquial omission of a predicate in the question. ;-)

(The above is a sentence fragment, which is acceptable as an answer to a direct question.)
