I'm a 16-year-old student from Finland. I started playing Go quite recently, actually it was pretty much at the beginning of year 2003. Since then, I've done my best to improve, and currently I'm considered to be 19kyu in Finland. In KGS my rank is currently 23k, but it should improve soon enough, as I'm mostly kicking ass there.

How did I find Go, you ask me? Well, it was because of many things. For one thing, a classmate of mine found Go somewhere and taught another classmate how to play. I watched over their shoulders and found the game rather interesting. Later I found out that they actually hadn't known the rules, and played capture Go on a 19x19.

Another thing was, surprise, the Hikaru no Go anime. After watching a couple of episodes, I knew there was something wrong with my friends' playing. So, I made a search on internet and found the KGS homepage, with the rule-teaching course on the site. So I found about the real rules and tried a couple of games at KGS. Soon enough I realized how excellent a game Go was, and the more I learn, the better it seems. I still play regularly at KGS, using the nick Dansc.


Though I'm only 19kyu, I've actually beaten a 5dan with eight stones. On a 13x13, though. (How can anyone lose on a 13x13 with eight stones?)
