Icepick
PageType: HomePage
I play on KGS as Icepick. I'm currently rated around 11k, and making slow progress. I'm fortunate that I'm able play and learn in person with the TwinCitiesGoClub. My tartrate number is 4: tartrate - Zerokun - JVD - yugidragon - Icepick I suspect my Shusaku number is 7 Shusaku - Iwasaki Kenzo - Honinbo Shusai - Iwamoto Kaoru - James Kerwin - Joel T - X - Icepick. I say suspect, because although I know that Joel T of the Twin Cities Go Club has had teaching games with James Kerwin, I have not played Joel. However I'm confident that we've both played a mutual TCGo member at some time or another. Major milestones: 4-1-3 -- I beat a 1d+ with a 9 stone handicap for the first time. Very happy about that. 9-11-3 -- One year of playing on the KGS server. 11k

Learn to Play Go Series In progress: So far, all have been pretty good. I found the Learn to Play Go series a little content light, but a good introduction to many topics. I think that Tesuji has improved me the most, simply because it forced me to improve my reading ability. I think I read too much, and play too little. Unfortunately, my free time tends to come in small pieces, which makes reading easier than playing. This is a copy of the living page "Icepick" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
