I'm a stubborn mulish sort of guy and have no problem getting back up when I've been knocked down in a competitive arena. I learned to play Go into the lower intermediate ranks all by myself first by whittling down the amount I lost by against a computer opponent, and then later by doggedly self-reviewing my wins and losses in online games. I learned to handle loosing ages ago. Steady Constant competition that I can track my progress against is far more useful for me than an opportunity to be the king of the shortest hill.Gus Heckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17335051366883822322noreply@blogger.com
