This is brilliant. I've found myself in a similar situation with my cousin as we've both taken up Go in the pandemic, and it's fun reading someone else describe some of the same things I've noticed. What has stuck with me a lot a year into this is how much psychology has played a role in our play, in the sense that while our play certainly is very sub-optimal when compared to any decent Go engine, it's always sub-optimal in a given direction that you could describe in psychological terms ("we play scared, or overly arrogant, etc."), and it's been fun seeing our tactics change to take advantage of some of those very human tendencies.
