Baduk+Mentality= Tensai
The idea of this blog came, when I was speaking with a friend on how to do well in tournaments. Recently he had some problems with playing at his best, problems which I had myself before as well. For people who did the same mistakes as me, I want to help them overcome them and people who had different problems or similiar ones but other ways to overcome them, I hope they could share it with us on this blog, with best regards your Yunyuki Kirigaya aka kiriya

mentality
Why do I lose when the other one is weaker? | |
Hi everyone, first of all I am going to tackle you today with the theme of how important mentality is while playing a sport like Baduk or Table tennis and so on. I got this interesting link about this theme from a friend, who plays go for years and got to 2-3dan. http://tabletennis.about.com/od/beginnersfaqs/a/why_you_lose.htm He also noticed firsthand how the pressure while playing is influencing his games against other dan players. I cant say for sure that it was only because I was feeling down about everything that went wrong in the last months of my life, but it definitly is part of the reason why I lost so badly in the last tournament. But even minor things can set off an unbalance of your concentration therefore I can only point out right now that it happens from time to time. If it happened and everything went wrong don´t try to break the situation forcefully. In most cases that way makes everything even worse. You have to regain your mood always step by step. that´s about all i can say about it here a second link which i got as well http://www.mentalgamecoaching.com/IMGCAArticles/Tennis/StopLosingToWeakerPlayers.html I hope all of you will have a good day, your admin yunyuki Kirigaya aka Kiriya |

Go story as book
First Kyu | |||
Hi everyone, this time i wanted to show you all some material easily be found in the internet about the book First Kyu (it´s about the cover of the book and a bit about the author). I personally like to read books and especially about go. First Kyu is a really interesting Story. I read it myself and it has some interesting parts like chapters namend with go proverbs or some famous games like the blood vomiting game which makes it pretty usefull besides the good story it gives some good go material to work with. How far would you go to be first?
"BEFORE WE BEGIN...
Let me tell you a story. An old story, a really old story.
Do you know how to play go?
You do? First kyu, a player of the first rank? Really? Have you ever competed in a professional qualifying tournament? No? Then you are not, I repeat NOT first kyu!
I know, I know. Nowadays all kinds of bad players call themselves first kyu. This story is, however, not about those fake first kyus. It's a story of the real first kyus.
There is a guy who runs a smoke shop near Niagara Falls. His name is Shin. On rainy days he keeps staring at the falls and mumbles something like this: "I'm sure they must all be playing for bangneki stakes happily somewhere..."
Can you even guess what he is talking about? If not, just hold on and listen to what I'm going to tell you. Only about a handful of people know this story. So listen up."
Thus begins a compelling, insightful, and haunting tale of love, sacrifice, the search for excellence, and Go- the world's oldest game.
