Progress on Yunguseng Dojang Game Review

In my last post I mentioned that I am listening to all 212 of my reviews from my five years in the American Yunguseng Dojang, starting from my earliest games. I wanted to report on my progress so far.

I've created a spreadsheet which will eventually house OGS links and AI Sensei links to all of my AYD games.  I've copied information over from my AYD profile page to create my spreadsheet.  

The profile page lists all of my games in this fashion:

I needed to copy the text from the profile page onto a spreadsheet of my own because I am adding columns for OGS links and the AI Sensei links. To make the sheet more easily navigable, I separated the cycles from each other with white space and copied the names of the columns for each segment. I added the names of seasons and cycles to each segment to more easily zero in on specific games.

My plan is to watch all of the reviews one time before making any problems in AI Sensei, but that plan might change.  Part of what I need to do as I fill in my spreadsheet is to download sgf files from the AYD site, upload them to my SGF Library on OGS, and then add those games to AI Sensei.  

I've actually watched the reviews from my first two seasons of AYD, but I have only uploaded the links for the first season so far. Starting in 2021 the OGS links should be available to copy from my games spreadsheet. I did not keep a games spreadsheet until when I started to take lessons with Clossius. I devised my games spreadsheet as a means for Clossius to launch games for review regardless of where those games had been played.

Below is part of my games spreadsheet.

It isn't the most impressive week, but it is what it is.

I've been enjoying watching the reviews again.  This activity has replaced some of the time I had been spending on Netflix, and it is surely better for me than watching Netflix. I think I must be stronger than I was at the time that I played these games because I am understanding the reviews better than I did when I first watched them. I really hope that creating problems will help to reinforce what I should be learning from each review.

Watching all 212 reviews and turning them into problems is going to be a very long process. I'm not sure that it is the most efficient use of my time, but I am having fun with it so far, and I find myself oddly obsessed with completing this task. Regardless of how long it takes I am going to complete this task. Failure is not an option.
