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.

My Blog

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 (400+ 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 12-13k?. 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 Wednesday at [ext] More Than Games from 6:00 - 9:00. Feel free to drop by if you're ever in town.

kritz Why the big difference in ranks between servers? I play on KGS - this scares me ...

patrickb: If oyu look at his games played and graph, you'll see that KGS is guessing that his rank is improving, primarily because the ranks of the people he played has also improved. If he plays more games on KGS and can't justify that rank, then of course his rank will drop.

Jim: I rarely play on KGS, the current rating is due to drift as patrickb points out. When I played regularly there I was around 18-19k.

Currently reading:
In The Beginning by Ikuro Ishigure - I've read this one once in the past, and have decided to read it again, this time writing in some notes and making more of an effort to let everything sink in.
