Third week begins with the new leagues and, surprise, another test about the latest chapter of the book. Two good news: the first one is that I'm in league B now, but only because the C doesn't exists anymore, and the second one is that I made a perfect test. Today the older Kim's daughter arrived, she is a yeonguseng (study to become a professional).

After a week of games and study, a moment for amusement at last. Friday night we met to have a small party in one of our houses. We talked, played with the kids and we had a lot of free games. I played some games, and I think I can say that they were good, ma I don't want to tell more and comment about that: someone could take offense! Apart from that, we chatted a lot and we obviously gossiped a bit!

The whole day is almost dedicated to a Pair Go Tournament: I and Francesco were a couple. There were 3 groups, and the first once of each group went to the semifinal in knockout match. All in all it wasn't bad, we won against Scott and Dong Ha (thanks to his mistake in the endgame) and we lost to Pavol and Sebastian (above all because my mistake in the endgame in byo-yomi), and then we played a match for the semifinal against Luka and Klara, but unfortunately we lost (very interesting game, but at the end we had too many weak groups in byo-yomi and we resigned).

In the morning, after a global revise, written test on a variation of the great avalance joseki. A good 5.5/6, very satisfied. Tomorrow there will be already a test on the next chapter, another variation of the same joseki, 30 diagrams to understand and learn. Before dinner I played a 6 handicap game with Hong Seul Ki, and I won: next time 5 handicap, not easy at all!!

Days become more and more similar, so there's no big news to tell. Today I won the League games with Pedro and Svilen, now I've a 3/3 score, and I have to play 6 game (another one with Pedro and two with Scott).

In the afternoon Kim Sung Rae gave us a lesson about counting liberties: it seems easy, but many times it's not! We also studied the value of moves in the endgame and how to count points.
