Holigor
PageType: HomePage     Keywords: People

Holigor used to be IGS 4k* prior to the rank shift.

I am from Ukraine. 42 year old.

Currently I reside in Singapore.

I play online only.

On the New 2002 Year eve I've been the only relatively sober player on IGS and won 3 games in a row which put me in 4k* class. The people continued to be drunk for several days after the New Year and I had 11/2 win/loss ratio as a new 4k* agaisnt assumingly stronger opposition. After that I played less with about 50/50 success ratio. So, after 2 month I reconciled myself with an idea that I am 4k* after all.

I've got a very simple [ext] go web page. A commented game there was played when I was IGS 7k. There are some newer commented games in a zip file too.

The part of the game I like most is the late middle game. I am strongly attracted to flashy moves, tesujies and furikawari, everything that drastically changes the course of the game.

My tsume-go is not great but I kill more often than die.

The part of the game I find most difficult is the opening. I can't see implications of the fuseki moves I make. But from time to time I hear a great advice, application of which makes things easier.

I am very weak at yose. I can't calculate the value of the moves. What is even worse is the fact that I don't know the value of any standard move except, of course, the values of 1 point moves (they are 0.5 miai counting, aren't they?) and a capture, value of which is the number of captured stones in miai counting. There is a rumour also that a monkey jump is 8 points.

Here is HoligorsRantOnYose.

Holigor's pondering on sacrifice.

For fun I made a rating of the leading go players
