Here are two responses I received from members that I want to pass along...

One member made a great point that (I'm paraphrasing here) even though you may feel like you made an unforced error, your opponent may have done an excellent job staying in the point long enough to let you make that mistake.

Another player wrote the following: Saying "cho" or "hao cho" to praise your own performance? Not me! To me, praising yourself is out of Chinese character! I will be happy about a good shot I make, but will not utter anything.

Thanks!

As usual, if you'd like to post an article to the list, just send it in. I moderate this list because I want to keep the list family-friendly and peaceful. (I'm a member of other non-professional lists, and I get tired of seeing all the bickering and negative comments that are inevitable.) But, anyone can send a story or announcement, so please do. (List membership is just under 80 members right now.)
