question2
I am being taught by my father, taking nine stones, but I can’t win. How on earth can I manage to win against him?

answer

The way to win? The answer is, of course, to become stronger, but unfortunately go is not a game in which you can suddenly become stronger. You become stronger gradually by making efforts that accumulate.

The main study methods are solving life-and-death problems and playing over games. Take them at your own pace, without hurrying.

Another recommendation I would like to make is to increase the handicap. One option is to receive a komi as well as the nine handicap stones. Even 50 points is OK. I think it’s more fun to play at a handicap where you win some, lose some. Or you could try taking more than nine stones. You should find a handicap at which you can win a game. Then you can gradually decrease the handicap stones.

Your father should also teach you the fun of winning.
