Getting More Active in the Internet Go School

First of all let me admit to having been lazy with blogging this month.  I won't try to catch up with a week by week description of my Go Activity. Rather I will just pick up from here.

My special topic for this week is my participation in the Internet Go School. I've been active in the Internet Go School to varying degrees since its inception.  For the past year or so the number of problems I was doing on a regular basis had dropped, and I decided about a month ago to pick up the pace.

My Go Activities this week reflect the work I have been doing to up my game at the Internet Go School.

The orange slice of the chart above represents over six hours of time devoted to the completion of Spaced Repetition Problems in the Internet Go School.

My efforts have placed me at number four on the Leaderboard for the week.

It isn't a small matter to even get in the top ten of the Leaderboard on a regular basis, so it felt good to be number four, if only for a short time.

I have managed to add back problems from the Basic Course on a gradual basis in the past year by rewatching lectures, and adding back problem sets a few at a time.  I have added back all of the problems from the Most Basic section and from the Basics: Step-by-step section.  I still need to add back some problems from the remaining sections of the Basic Course.

I have made progress on building up my vacation days which had dropped below 20 at one point, and I am getting close to 2,000 days in a row of study with the Internet Go School.

I highly recommend Guo Juan's Internet Go School.

I had the pleasure recently of playing two games across the board with a good friend of mine who stopped in on his way home from a trip to Boston with his father.  Those two games are at the top of my list of games for the week.

It was a busy week with 12 games played.  All but the two games played across the board were BenKyo League Title Tournament games.

Speaking of BenKyo League, I had a particularly good month in May winning titles in the Title Tournament.  I have commemorated the event with a partial screen capture of my roles in BKL.  There are other roles cut off below.

The roles of The Hand of God through The Phoenix are titles from the BKL Title Tournament.

I was given the role of BenKyo Ambuzzsawdor because I am known for my promotion of the BenKyo League.
