Go PERSONALITY QUIZZZZZZ - http://style.baduk.org/style/index.php?

"Your style is aggressive

You like to fight, but sometimes it’s better to keep your games simple, especially if you are leading.
If you want to become more rational, pay attention on the game records of these masters: Lee Changho, Kang Dongyun, Ma Xiaochun, Xie He."

Your style is passive

You play Go like a mouse on our banner
Try to attack more! If you want to change your passive playing style, study game records of Yoo Changhyuk, Takemiya, Cho Hunhyun or Miyazawa Goro.
You may also try “Kill-all Go”: Take 17 handicap stones (free placement) and try to kill every group of your opponent.
If you cannot kill them all – make the handicap bigger.

My HORRIBLE habit is Squeezing Out the Toothpaste

Squeezing out the toothpaste is a term sometimes used when a group is seemingly squeezed, but in reality is forced into a direction where it should have been stopped, in particular into the territory of the player doing the 'squeezing'.

Squeezing out the toothpaste is an application of the general idea of pushing through small gaps.

Great match. The programmer said that they changed the thinking time of DZG to 1.8x of the first match, because in the first match they lost while still having lots of remaining time.

GO PERSONALITY QUIZZZZZZ Update -
http://style.baduk.org/style/alternative.php?

"Your style is flexible

Your Go style is flexible: you can play for territory as well as for influence.

Usually you make such decisions according to the whole-board situation or the playing style of your opponent.

You may force him to choose the strategy he hates. For example, if he likes moyos, you can play for influence yourself, just for making him angry.

Your Go style is actually the best one.

You may improve your Go by studying different things, but I suggest paying attention on yose and positional judgment."
