Joseki (Go Strategy)

While I like Go for the big-picture strategy which evokes potent metaphorical understandings of spirituality in practice, and I like to think of one day hooking up with a community of people who play the game for the right reasons, losing all the time to the Fuego is not my favorite experience.

For that reason, I am watching some strategy videos on Youtube.  (In a year and half or so, after the house is paid off, and my spending moratorium is ended, I might even buy Go books  . . . shocking, I know).

The current beginner fundamental for me is Joseki.




Update: just internalizing this concept alone helped me to move up a handicap on the 9X9 board against Fuego.
