Me:
My name is Jim Kiraly and I've been playing go since February 2002. I haven't really improved as much as I would've liked in the past year (who has, I guess!?) and now find myself getting beaten by just about everyone that I've taught the game to. Maybe I'm just too good a teacher? :-)

I was born in 1970 in Columbus, Ohio, grew up just outside of Cleveland (Brookpark), Ohio and now live in [ext] Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Work:
I work at [ext] Raytheon Network Centric Systems (or whatever we are called this week) in Fort Wayne, Indiana, as a senior software engineer.

Playing:
Most of my playing experience has been on DragonGoServer (350+ games) where I am rated anywhere between 20-24k depending on who I have most recently lost to. (user - jim_kiraly)

While I have an account on KGS I only play once in a great while, and my rating has drifted to about 15-16k?. I always tell myself that I will spend more time playing there, but never get around to it. (user - kiraly)

My brother and I started the [ext] Fort Wayne Go Club this January (2003) and we are now up to about 4-5 regular players. We meet every Saturday at [ext] More Than Games from 3:30 - 6:00. Feel free to drop by if you're ever in town.

Currently reading:
Tesuji by James Davies - I'm too dense to follow a lot of it, but it has actually has helped me here and there. I've started to make SGF files for all of the problems in the book so that I can zip them up and take them along with me to work to work on during lunch.

Making Good Shape by Rob von Zeijst and Richard Bozulich - Just received this today (06022003) and am looking forward to diving into it. This book comes highly recommended from a friend at our club.
