Go Game

I think my Go has gotten weaker. I am not sure anymore the strings that held my groups together used to be strong! I never lost a head to head fight!!!! Now my groups are open to attack! The people that I used to play are no longer on. The people I play now have strange foreign moves to me. I do not know how to react! The moves they make do not even seem to be strong. I try to attack the weakness but it is like trying to grab at a balloon that has just flown from your hand out of reach. You try to jump because it is moving slowly away but you still cannot grasp it even though you may touch the string. And like a balloon when you are blowing it up you have to judge exactly how much air you can blow into it. If you blow to much air it will pop! Same with territory you have to judge your extensions and not open your groups up for attack themselves or all is lost.

We will leave with a profound go Proverb!
