RazorBrain [11k?\]: thank you
RazorBrain [11k?\]: I am noticing improvement
RazorBrain [11k?\]: in the way I look at the game
RazorBrain [11k?\]: that is what I like most about our lessons
Tsurukame [7d?\]: focus on play, review and 30-40 mins a day of tsume-go (20 for easy, 20 for more difficult)
RazorBrain [11k?\]: it shows me better ways to see the board
Tsurukame [7d?\]: i can sense that in your play
RazorBrain [11k?\]: are reasonable fast games okay
RazorBrain [11k?\]: 20 minutes per player
Tsurukame [7d?\]: yes
Tsurukame [7d?\]: perfect
RazorBrain [11k?\]: or should I play slower than that for daily games
Tsurukame [7d?\]: no
RazorBrain [11k?\]: okay
RazorBrain [11k?\]: If I take more than that I'll never play
Tsurukame [7d?\]: 75-80% of the games must be fast
RazorBrain [11k?\]: :)
Tsurukame [7d?\]: :)

RazorBrain [11k?\]: DO you have suggestions on practicing this type of thing?

Tsurukame [7d?\]: there are a bit more difficult tsume-go
Tsurukame [7d?\]: i told you to warmup with easy ones
RazorBrain [11k?\]: right
Tsurukame [7d?\]: and end the study day with more difficuly
RazorBrain [11k?\]: I don't always take the time to do that
RazorBrain [11k?\]: SOunds like I need to :)
Tsurukame [7d?\]: problems that takes 2-3 minutes to solve
RazorBrain [11k?\]: okay
Tsurukame [7d?\]: more difficult than that are not useful
Tsurukame [7d?\]: besides, you can always practice in a review
RazorBrain [11k?\]: yes because you rarely have more time than that in a game anyway
Tsurukame [7d?\]: after playing a game it's very useful to go through different sequences
Tsurukame [7d?\]: even pro they do ;like that
Tsurukame [7d?\]: to SEE the shapes played out
