Stefan Verstraeten
PageType: HomePage    

I am Stefan Verstraeten, a 31 year old [ext] Belgian. I bluff my way through the go world pretending to be a [ext] Euro 2 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 '[ext] Jazz' on [ext] IGS or '[ext] arthur' on [ext] KGS, be aware that it's me and feel free to invite me for a game, regardless of your rank. Don't be shy. Really, I don't mind at all playing a 5 dan every now and then.

Apart from go, most of my time goes to my wife and my son Arthur. You can use this [email] e-mail address for private communication.


Current study interests

  • Spending more time in games thinking about where to play, and less about what to play.
  • I memorise 1 game per week. I look mostly for Chinese and Korean players, as I've seen less of those than the Japanese scene.
  • Idle time in the office goes to [ext] problems.
