C[trohde: Hahaha, TIL: “puppydogging”
trohde: similar here, I’m afraid. I also have the feeling as if my Go is deteriorating … last year I scratched 3k for a very short time (or was it 4k?) … and then quickly fell back to 9k 😳😓
trohde: if (when?) I fall back to DDK I should perhaps switch to Tic-Tac-Toe 😅
BHydden: If AI says I blunder on my next move... fair 🤷‍♂️

C[BHydden: If you fail at tichyac-toe, there is always chess 😉
BHydden: Tic-tac-toe*
trohde: Heh, before I got into Go a little more seriously, I played a lot of Chess, mostly from my twenties to my mid-thirties … I appreciate the crystalline beauty of Chess, and then I found that I LOVE the organic beauty of Go 😊

C[trohde: Funny how your “most of my life” gets me thinking … while I first encountered Go at the age of ~7 already (my father wanted to convince my mother to play, but she wouldn’t, sadly, and with me he played too tough and competitive, and didn’t understand enough of the game to be able to teach me),
trohde: and while later I tried a few times to teach myself and get friends involved, in my teens, 20s, and my early 30s, it was only in my early 40s (end of the 1990s) that I began playing more seriously, namely after finding Go online.
trohde: when I regularly played with a friend in my end-20s, he and I didn
trohde: didn’t understand enough, and we did Komi with Handicap by multiplying 6.5 with the number of HC stones 😂
trohde: we played for about 1.5 or 2 years, once a week, playing one or two rounds of Go and same with Chess, those were long evenings … later he quit, and said he didn’t like my “bad style of playing” (he lost more often than I did) … he also thought of my technique of sacrificing “poisoned” figures in Chess as an “unfair” tactic 🤷‍♂️
trohde: I regret that I wasn’t able to convince him that “it’s just a game” and that such tactics were part of the game … and later we lost sight of each other, sadly

C[BHydden: That is unfortunate. I found Go in my mid-twenties, and OGS already existed by then as it was less than a decade ago. I really wish I could have known about it while I was at university, but still it has been a good journey so far.

trohde: And you … pls don’t ever apologise again for delayed move 😉 
trohde: at least to me
trohde: and you wouldn’t have had to before this current crisis either, as I’m known for often using all my time
trohde: withdrawing nicotine again (and hopefully for the last time), after 51 years of smoking
trohde: and the symptoms of withdrawal are horrible 🤷‍♂️

C[trohde: thx bro, it’s slowly slowly getting a li’l better. Not funny though. But then again, there’s not much that’s really funny, is there? Is why we humanimals invented jokes? 😄
