I could have killed this entire White group had I just filled it in at A11. But I couldn't see it. I am bad at reading out Tsumego problems where you fill in your group, then let the opponent kill your group, and then you play one stone at the center to kill the opponent. I don't know how to see it with the stones filled. Aside from doing more of these problems, does anyone here have any tips on these types of Tsumegos? Are there just a few shapes I need to memorize.

I'm wondering if there are Go players who work outside of STEM. What do you do?

STEM is Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

I think I can learn from reviewing someone else's game. But I don't know if a 15 kyu (me) is qualified to be reviewing anyone's game.

I have a tendency to focus on my weaknesses as areas of improvement. But it's also very advantageous (and maybe more worthwhile) on honing one's natural strengths / talents. Because I focus so much on weaknesses (like Life/Death), I don't know what my strengths are in Go. Looking for ideas. What are yours?
