I've been playing for about a month and noticed that sometimes I enter a flow state where I'm placing stones quickly and intuitively. Until, I make a mistake and then try to force myself to slow down and read the board and some moves ahead. Should I be trying to read the board and as many moves ahead as possible, at all times? How do the pros do it?

There's times when im playing the computer and im sitting there waiting for the computer to pass so that I can pass and end the game. Presumably i'm doing something wrong though. yes, i'm a noob.

If i don't see any moves, but the computer is making moves, does that mean I am missing something?

How do you know when youre ready to start playing bigger boards?
