Where can I find pro games?
Most decent go websites have good resources of pro games. I get mine from monthly go magazines which have games reviewed by pros.

Why study pro games?
It's extremely beneficial to get a feel of how Go is played at high level. Even if you don't understand the moves being played, it's alright. But it would be great if you can get pros to explain the moves, different lines of play and strategies.

How to memorize games?
Daunting at first for people who are new to this. You can try with small steps to build up your confidence, like 5 or 6 moves. Don't think about memorizing it. Just play the moves. And replay them afterwards. My faith in this area is build up firmly after a game in a tournament (real life) a year ago. I requested for a game review with my opponent. I find that I could reconstruct the game we have just played with ease and accuracy up to move 50. Prior that game I have not thought about remembering the game. The memorising process takes place without you even thinking about it. The key point is to review a game immediately after the game ended. The same goes with memorizing pro games.

How many moves should I memorize?
I usually memorize the first 50 or 100 moves of a pro game. This was suggested by my teacher. But it's really up to you. I can say my fuseiki and joseiki improves drastically after I did it regularly.

How many games to memorize a day?
So far it's one game for me. But I was told that it's not really enough. Memorise as many games as you are comfortable with.

What if I forget my memorized games after some time?
It's alright to forget memorized games. Your skills won't weaken because of that. It's a matter of developing the instinct for good moves. But you may try to recall games weekly if you want to keep them remembered.
