l/d problems

Just blogging this to remember which l/d problems to check out in Stonebase:

"Nice to study l/d problems. There have some good stuff about yose and l/d problems in StoneBase which named 中外古谱 -> 中国古谱 -> 官子谱. It's very useful because almost all the stuffs come from the real game. In fact i almost don't do other l/d problems except this one. It was writed in 17th by GuoBailin."

Today, I am studying attack and defense, and haengma. I guess should do l/d later too.

Women's Day

March 8:

women's day=三八妇女节
三san1 =three
八=ba1 =eight
妇fu4女nv3 =women
节jie2 =festival

All the women will enjoy half day or a day's break. It's not long but interesting because you almost can't see a woman in working in this day.

Moyo and territory

Just realized it's not moyo(模mo2样yang4) but territory(实shi2地di4). I am really sorry for saying it a moyo to myself, but i don't feel too sorry for saying it to you^^
