Stefan Verstraeten
PageType: HomePage    

I am Stefan Verstraeten, a 30 year old Dutch speaking Belgian Go player. I bluff my way through go matches pretending to be a Euro 3 kyu.

Go discovered me in September 1994. I picked up Iwamoto's beginners book and never looked back. The real fun started in early 1995, when I convinced my best friend Dieter Verhofstadt that his life would become magical and wonderful if he became a go addict too. The fun was over when he started beating me (that was two games later). I've been trying to catch up with him ever since.

When you bump into 'Jazz' on IGS, be aware that it's me and feel free to offer me a beer or a game. The same applies if you ever pass by Gent (or any other Belgian town, really - it's such a small place anyway). (After an absence of close to two years, I have now started to visit my beloved [ext] go club again and it is simply wonderful!)

Upcoming tournaments I plan to play in:

I'll also attend the [ext] Guo Juan go clinic on October 20th.

Apart from go, I like to run marathons or prepare for them (currently the Amsterdam Marathon on October 21st), watch the grass grow in the garden or show up for work. And I am the proud owner of an [ext] e-mail address.
