Take N Give
PageType: HomePage     Keywords: Problem

I'm Mike Malveaux, malveaux and takengive on go servers. I've been playing go about fifteen years, intermittently. I'm about 9k on a wood board at the [ext] Seattle Go Center; currently 12k? on [ext] KGS, the server i use most often; and 15k* on [ext] IGS and [ext] NNGS. My [ext] AGA rating currently is -11.70 (worse than i'd thought -- i'd better play more tournaments! :-)

At the moment, i have 5 irons in the fire:

  • learning about TournamentDirecting, in preparation for a tournament this winter at a local coffee shop. Perhaps when the dust settles, we can WikiMasterEdit it into a primer for aspiring TDs.
  • Making Go More Popular?; planning to summarize the recent RGG thread, unless someone else does it first.
  • Teaching methods?, particularly the Capture Game for children (many thanks to Jon Boley of the [ext] Seattle Go Center for modeling his excellent method, and his support and encouragement!).
  • Reading HikaruNoGo... but the [ext] animeflipside translation site seems to be down, so now I have even more incentive to [ext] learn Japanese.
  • Building magnetic demonstration boards. Post here if you're interested in learning from my mistakes. Email me at tacomagofiend @ yahoo.com if you might want to buy one. The magnetic stones are expensive, but I think I can sell complete sets for about US$100; much less, if several people want one and I can find a good price on magnetic stones.

I've done a few reviews for the [ext] GTL (but i'm embarrassed by the wrongness of some of them!), and added a little to [ext] Go Problems. I have a few go links on [ext] my page at GeoCities. And now i've become a recent changes junky.

I'm sorry i didn't investigate this sooner -- it seems to have more aji than [ext] RGG.) Thanks for everything, Morten and Arno!

If anyone needs to email me (to tell me to quit messing up the Sensei's pages, for example :-), it's: takengive@yahoo.com (please, no more spam!).

TTYL, -- Mike Malveaux
