Bignose
PageType: HomePage   Difficulty: Beginner   Keywords: People

My real name is Ben Finney, though people on newsgroups such as rec.games.go may know me better as "The Nose Who Knows". My username on Sensei's (and most other places I visit) is Bignose. Email is bignose (at) zip (dot) com (dot) au, webpage is [ext] http://bignose.squidly.org/ .

I hail from Melbourne, Australia. Currently (Nov-2001) I'm about 13k on KGS the Kiseido Go Server, and 10k in the MelbourneGoClub. I'm still kicking myself that I missed first place in the Kyu division at this year's nationals by getting greedy in the final round against a very good 5k :-)

I encountered Go vaguely for many years, as references in Usenet posts (on unrelated newsgroups) and as strange computer games included on Unix systems, until I saw it played in the movie "Pi" by Darren Aronofsky. That was mid-1999, and I determined to learn the game. I've been playing enthusiastically since August 1999.

I'm an infrequent visitor here, but when I do come I'll often touch up a page or start a new one for an undefined link.


DieterVerhofstadt:

I have been enjoying your comments on all BadHabits. If, in addition, you are the nose who knows, welcome, welcome.


Thanks for the welcome, it's fun taking part in a Wiki on one of my favourite subjects :-) -- Bignose
