Older Grandson at second Go tournament
The Older Grandson is getting good tournament experience: a large tournament last weekend, a smaller tournament this weekend. Both tournaments are rated, so his AGA rating will be established.
One learns a lot in a tournament. First you focus on the game with an unusual intensity and then, after the game, you generally adjourn to another room and review the game with your opponent—at exactly the time when your mind is most open to learning from your (and his) mistakes. A few tournaments, combined with some study, can greatly deepen one’s understanding of the game.
