The Zürich tournament is approaching rapidly and I’m not feeling all to confident in my abilities. Is it really a good idea to skip a tournament just because you might be in a slump?
3 days aren’t nearly enough time to study new stuff that will actually be settled in your memory and completely understood until the day of the tournament. So I’ve come to the following conclusion. I will play a best-out-of-10. So if i manage to win at least 6 out of 10 games, I will participate at the tournament. If on the other hand my win-loss-ratio happens to be worse than that, I will focus on my studies instead. Additionally I’ll try to review as many as possible out of the played games. If you have any hints or comments, they’re appreciated ^^

Anyway here’s the first game!
The second game almost ended in a disaster. I was lucky to pull out a win on this one.
Croatian Go player residing and playing in Switzerland. Currently around 1d.
Playing in Go Club Zürich and sometimes Go Club Winterthur. 
no excuses, you will come!
Lo said the same thing to me today at the Go-club O_o is there some kind of conspiracy going on that I don’t know of?
Anyway, I’ll make sure to be at the tournamen, however I’m not sure yet if I’ll be participating. However I’ll do my best to make the ratio tournament-worthy
Here i say it again: On short term you can lose rating points, you can get little frustrated about the games you lose but on long term it really doesn’t matter if you have a negative win-lose ratio.
Take the tournament itself as training! There aren’t that many occasions to play serious games so if you miss the tournament you will miss an important experience.
Sheesh, guess there’s nothing I can do about it, I’m in
