Phlegmatic
PageType: HomePage
Phlegmatic is the name I currently use on KGS - I'm really Garry Sturley, 29 years old, living in Cambridge, UK.
I started playing Go in earnest in November 2002, after a friend sent me a link to KGS. I am now an 16 kyu on KGS, although after my first attendance at the Speaking of Charles, I finally got around to asking him for a teaching game the other day and he kindly agreed. By the end it became clear that I still have a lot to learn about how to use 9 stones effectively! I had intended that the game could be used to provide me a lesson in the ever-vexing concept of shape, but by the time I resigned (much later than good etiquette might have demanded, I fear), a lesson in strategy was much more appropriate to the way I'd played (many unconnected weak groups, most of which died miserably...). On the plus side I was taught a lot, and it gave me a sufficient kick up the backside that I immediately went on to chalk up my first win against a Dan player. Thank you Charles for the lesson!
