Kungfu
PageType: HomePage    

I play as kungfu 4k* on IGS and taiji 3k on the Kiseido Go Server.

o My breakfast number is 1. o My Solaris number is 1. o My tartrate number is 2 (through solaris/breakfast). o My Cho Hun-Hyun number is 2 (through Kim Jung-Jin).

Interestingly enough, because of the close proximity with several pros, I would have a shuusaku number closer than 6, perhaps? I'll research this later.

My games have been described by my opponents as 'interesting', I believe I have a truly unique style, constantly changing.

Top influences (I like to study their games when I can)

Takagawa Shukaku

Go Seigen

Nie Weiping

Takemiya Masaki

I enjoy practising Taijiquan, the chinese martial art. You may know it better as Tai Chi. I believe that Taijiquan has helped me become a better go player. I am completely in love with Go and Martial Arts :)

I've started the following threads here which you may find interesting:

More about me:

I'm a Christian go player from Toronto. I am married, and I have traveled to England and Taiwan. One of the noticeable impressions I had from both countries is that no matter how hard I searched, no one I found played go. A lot of chess and xiangqi players, though.

Finally, I have a goal in the go world: to become 1 dan professional. It's a long, hard road; I suspect I will need to become around 6d on IGS/KGS before it would be possible to think about really becoming pro. So getting to 5d/6d is the first step: 9 more stones.

Here is my plan:

1. Memorize Ishida's joseki dictionary.

2. Memorize Cho Chikun's Life and Death. Do many go problems. Many.

3. Memorize professional games. A lot of them if possible.

4. Take lessons from a very strong amateur dan, or pro player.

5. Promote the game of go and teach go.
