Joshual000 (Josh Larson) Josh lives in Roseville, Minnesota (USA) and has recently discovered a source for F2F games in the Twin Cities (the elusive local go club) Josh began playing Go around July/August of 2002. As of November 2003, his ranking sits at 8kyu (on KGS, his server of choice) Josh began his relationship with SL at a very anonymous/casual level. (Making an occasional anonymous comment here and there, etc..) This has slowly progressed to the point where he now takes ownership of his occasional posts. Currently Josh is working on finding 'the big move' and profit areas. Occasionally this means he ends up sacrificing some stones, however it really seems to be paying off in his games. Also he's been noticing a big difference between his online play and his face to face play. Face to face, a game may last between 1 and 2 hours, while online a 30 minute game is considered long. The depth of his play (and subsequent playing strength) seems to be much better in face to face games. Go Books in Josh's Library (and who currently is borrowing them): Life and Death Tesuji (I think Brian has this one) Attack and Defence (Borrowed to Eric) Whole Board Thinking in Joseki I Whole Board Thinking in Joseki II Strategic Concepts of Go The Chinese Opening (The Sure-Win Strategy) Masao Kato Dictionary of Basic Joseki I Dictionary of Basic Joseki II Dictionary of Basic Joseki III The Nihon Ki-in Small Encyclopedia: Fuseki Volume II How to Win a Won Game (Scott) Rescue and Capture (Scott?) Learn to Play Go vol IV: Battle Strategies (Scott?) Books outside my library I've managed to scavenge and read: The Great Joseki Debates How to Play Handicap Go Appreciating Famous Games (Sebastian:) What does the "000" stand for? Are you a triple zero agent? Joshual000 - actually, it's 'double-oh zero'. Means I'm licensed for practically nothing (they barely let me drive).
