First day since I joined online-go.com that my rank actually rose!

Climbed from 29k to 27k. Still absolute beginner territory, but it's nice to see after several days of freefall, and I've been winning enough that I think I'll push it higher in the days ahead.

Been playing 9x9 exclusively, and I think it's been very good at teaching me what works and what doesn't on a small-scale tactical level. I feel like I've gotten a much better sense of when it's safe to hane, when a group needs reinforcement, when it's viable to attack an enemy group, etc.
