Bonjour ! I am a new French Go player as I started to learn the rules in late December 2002. But I quickly became addicted, so expect huge improvements whithin a short time ;) My best friends now are SL and GnuGo associated with gGo (sadly not being Free Software anymore) during my idle worktime. I can beat GnuGo 3.3.16 most of the time at even game playing White, but it is still a challenge. I already beat it by more than 40 points a few times (but so does it ;). I am now consistently struggling with Igowin around 5k/6k, and already reached 2k a few times. I am improving my splitting technique. I did my first steps on KGS, but did not have time to play much, so I don't have any reliable rank information. I don't really mind it, but will have a go at it, to be able to play more interesting games with equally (un)skilled people. I am usually willing to play with a relaxed and zen mind. Are rated games too serious? I also like to teach newcommers the basis at high handicap. Most of all, I spent time watching dan level players. It is a very good way to learn proper moves and shapes, however, this cannot teach how to punish the far-from-so-optimal moves I meet on my own games. Ohooh, by the way, I am catching up on Hikaru No Go... I am looking forward playing my first game with nice and funny people on a real goban, but never had the opportunity so far. Long time interested in computer Open Source philosophy, I definitely felt in love with the Wiki Editing concept and I try to contribute as often as I can. As I cannot provide quality, I will try to contribute quantity!!! This is a copy of the living page "Nico" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
