Two busy weeks behind.

I simply hate it when I can't play. It is simply not fun. Well I did manage to have two small games when I visited my parents almost two weeks ago.
I first taught my little brother to play a 9x9 atari-go, and while I didn't have much time showing my aunt how to play, my mother delightfully agreed to play a game, again on the 9x9 goban. My brother, whom against I always lose whenever we play a game didn't stand a chance as I totally obliterated his stones. (Ok it wasn't that bad, really... Mwahaahahaha!!;) But as I taught my mom, she beat me by 16 stones. Thenagain, maybe it was because I showed her where to play.

Oh, I forgot. Before I went to my parents I had printed some 9x9 and 13x13 boards from the web and bought some of those decorative flat glass stones also mentioned on the page I got the prints from. Enough for three small teaching boards anyway. I decided I would get some thin plywood for creating the boards with the mentioned goban prints and take the boards and stones to the aikido dojo so I can show Go to all my senpai who are interested in it.

Btw. here's a picture of an ice cream that reminded us of a certain comic strip on the web comic Empty Triangle:

Last week I also played my fifth match in the ASR League, it was AkinfeevK 2k again. I played white. It was a nice game, but I had to resign as my game was not really going anywhere anymore, actually it was way past lost at the moment. I should try playing when I'm awake. ^^ Here's the game:

Last weekend I was away as we were invited to watch my father-in-law defend his doctorate thesis and to the evening party that followed. It was pretty nice to see our son stole the show, and their hearts. And all-in-all we had pretty much fun, even after the parties, when I joined my sister-in-laws and their friend to party at a local pub in their hometown, singing karaoke amidst all the Finnish hillbillies there.

This was fun. I'll be signing off now, but I will be trying to gather some strength so that I could play atleast two games per day. I also feel I will have to play a ranked game every now and then. See you soon! ^^ /gg
