But I played and managed to promote to beta.
(ASR has four layers, with alpha being the highest and delta the lowest)
Since July 1st was a Sunday I actually could play quite a lot so I got as many ASR games in as I could. It is my experience that it is easier to get games early and late in the month. I didn't want to get stuck in desperate late month games again, so happy that I got all the early games in.
I played way more games than usual, let's see whether I can keep it up during the rest of July. Even if they aren't ASR games, I think actual playing beats boring study :D

Kinda new to your blog, started reading it some weeks ago after re-engaging Go [yet again].
Couple of questions:
* Doesn't your will to join the Alpha league kind of run counter to you foregoing KGS ranks?
* Are you still interested in Handicap? I recently found a nice book by Yutopian / Nihon Kiin.
Take care.

Hi Ferran!
Nope, ASR doesn't care about ranks, all games are even, so it's ok to be unranked.
Yes, I still would love to read more about playing white in handicap, please let me know what's the title.
Thanks!

WRT the ASR, my point is that you're simply substituting one kind of rank (kyu/ELO) with another (which league you qualify for).
"[The Nihon Ki-in] Pro-Pro Handicap Go; 100 battles, 100 wins", Yutopian, 1-889554-08-1. I believe there's another very similar one.
Take care.
