Guide To Become Strong
by Benjamin Teuber 6 Dan
|
Many times I hear questions and requests like "How can I become strong?" or "My Go lacks this or that.
Please teach me how to be better at it!". In general, I think many people overestimate the role of
a Go-Teacher. Of course, it's very important to play and analyze with stronger players too, but still
the teacher is not everything. Most of the learning consists of exploring Go for yourself, and not by
having every single move explained.
Actually, most part of my study in Japan did not consist of being taught by pros, but of studying by myself.
One big point of being next to professionals was that they explained how to do this.
For you, these lines mean that you don't have to go to Japan or find a 6-Dan teacher to become incredibly strong!!! Instead, if you are ambitious, you just have to know what to do by yourself. This is why I decided to write this small tutorial. |
How to become strong (in order of importance)
| 1. | Play, play, play - the stronger your opponent the better for you |
| 2. | Do Tsumego in the right way continuously. Maybe this seems to be boring for you at first, but you'll see how much fun it is once you start. It's very important how to do so! |
| 3. | Analyze your games with other players (as above, the stronger the better) - best would be to found a private study group (ten eyes will find more than two or four...) |
| 4. | Do Tsumego |
| 5. | If you like, repeat and learn some pro games |
| 6. | More Tsumego |
| 7. | If you have some interesting book about fuseki, joseki, shape, endgame or whatever, read it if you enjoy - but don't spend too much time with it |
| 8. | If you still have time left, how about a few tsumego-problems? |

There is a small constant stream of users who contribute problems and I hope, this will never stop. If you want to help, you can either make proposals or get books/PDFs assigned to you. Those have to be brought into SGF format with an editor of your choice. All contributors take this task as a reading practice. It is a much better practice to find all correct and incorrect sequences to a problem than just one correct sequence. Contributors get access to Tsumego Hero Premium.
