Saesneg
PageType: HomePage    

My name is Julian Davies.

I'm a member (and chairman) of the Bristol Go Club in England, though I no longer live near Bristol. I am about 5 kyu in club games.

Since moving from Bristol I have helped found the Yeovil Go Club. Currently attended by about eleven players, some more regular than others and most of them beginners.

I play as Saesneg on KGS.

I am keen on teaching the game and spreading its popularity.

I wrote this [ext] article on [ext] Kuro5hin which was immediately voted to their [ext] hall of fame.

What a great article! Well done. DaveSigaty

Thank you Dave!


I have started posing simple go problems on the [ext] Kuro5hin web site.

Kuro5hin is a community discussion site, whose primary audience is American and European programmers and the like. There are a number of go beginners. The site is moderated by the community itself, which means that abusive postings etc are kept to a minimum. Contributions to Kuro5hin are either:

  • Articles: on any subject, which get posted to the front page if the community votes so
  • Diary entries: which are posted to the diary section
  • Comments: which may be posted to articles, diary entries or other comments.

I have been posting the [ext] go problems in the diary section, under the user name sai. It would be nice to post one a day, though I won't be able to keep this up on my own.

It is early days yet, but this approach does have some benefits. It allows me to give tips, clear up misperceptions about go etc in a dialogue with the solvers. It also gives the game visibility to the other readers who are not yet go players. And my opinion is that visibility is the thing go needs most in the west.

So,

  • if there are any beginners who want to try some easy problems, check it out. The more the merrier.
  • If there are any strongish players who would like to help, please contact me at julian (dot) davies (at) screwfix (dot) com.
