Don believes there is probably no difference and

i agree with this over some small range of powers of two.

local reading and global analysis reduces the

Now with Go as a beginner still, on the other
hand, I almost always felt and still feel quite overwhelmed ...
yes, i usually feel this way in tournament games.
and again more time will help (for some small powers of 2).
i think more time works better because go has
more battles going on at the same time.
... The interactions between areas and the
explosion of the game and lack of experience to
be able to âsenseâ good shape and proper
balance early enough to lead to life and
territory just simply overwhelms me. The feeling
is not as severe as it was when I first learned,
but it is still there. I wonder whether even
for strong amateurs this is still the case, but
just happens a bit deeper. Is this the time
limit that Ray talks about where any more time is not helpful? ...
if you are analyzing one battle, maybe more
powers of two. if it's many battles, maybe fewer
powers of two as you will hit your mental limit sooner.
thanks
