I feel so sorry, but it's impossible to me due to lack of time mantain two blogs. So if you want to read "El Camino al Dan" in English, just enter into http://elcaminoaldan.blogspot.com and translate it with google translate. I'll put a button for do this. :/

Hi fellas!

I don't really understand the meaning of fellas, is an insult or despective?

Apart from this I'm going to talk a bit about Cadiz. Cadiz is a city in southern spain. We have beach, sun and lots of pretty brunette girls. The first spanish constitution was written here, and a lot of interesting and historical events happened here. 

But, what about go? We have Agoca, Cadiz Go Association. We meet twice a week, tuesdays in Cultural Center "El Bidón" (Cádiz, Alcalde Manuel de la Pinta Avenue, near of the corner where it cross with Velazquez street ) and mondays in Tsuki Coffe (C/ Doctor Zurita Nº4 11004 Cádiz).

So if you're here on holidays or something, don't doubt about visiting us. 

Here is a contact email

Playing against Dani

Today I met Dani again in our univerty's go club, our small go club. He won me... That's all, but I remembered a lot of things and was great to review the game after play it.

I think that I learn some things reviewing and I remembered a lot of other things. :/

This is the game, if you want to point out something just comment. :)

Dani ha realizado algunos comentarios sobre ella, dice que no le gusta, no aprecia mi maestría. Pero tiene razón.

Esa pinza no trabaja con nadie, realmente la pinza que mejor trabajaría sería A, pero no sé porque no la hice realmente. Parece una pinza demasiado suave, pero es pinza porque no deja hacer una extensión cómoda, y trabaja mejor con la piedra en tengen.]L[jd];W[qc]C[Dani tampoco se comío mucho la cabeza, simplemente invadió.];B[pc];W[qd];B[pe];W[pb];B[ob];W[qb];B[oc];W[qf];B[gc];W[cf]

Touching stones again

Today I had being playing against Dani at university, we have changed our meeting's schedule and we meet wednesdays at two o'clock until five. I'm very weak now, I haven't played for a month and I feel weird touching the stones. When I arrive home at night I don't really want to play a game, I want to sleep or just talk to my girlfriend.

But he won me, so I have to study and play more, I want to improve. I'm competitive, I think that my own nature is to learn things, a lot of things about different subjects, I really love learning new things. So I'm going to apply this for go.

I was seeing Eloy's photos of Barcelona's Tournament. There're some of them. :)

So many time...

Touching go stones is so weird... So many time without them ...

Weaker :/

I feel weaker, I'm on a losing streak, it's quite painful. You sit and play, you lose, you play another game, you lose, and it repeats once and once until you close the window.

I think that sometimes I get quite obsessed with my KGS ranking, especially when I'm feeling that I'm stronger, I take a sight to my graph and it's near the next rank... But I lose... :/
