My name is
You can contact me via email or Jabber at Living in the USA and not being a college student or a resident of a large city, I've never had an opportunity to play a game in person. I wish I could, though. I have this nasty habit of reacting while playing, and I think I'd be less likely to do so if playing a stone took more effort than clicking a button. After trying many tricks to slow down (including keeping my hands in different places, playing the computer game out on a real board) I've concluded that only practice is going to improve things. I think I'm naturally slowing as my awareness of the many facets of the game increases. Since acquiring the book Graded Go Problems for Beginners, Volume 1, I have noticed improvements, too. The habit of analyzing the local situation more closely carries over to my play. Now I need to get the rest of the volumes. I am interested in Go software development, because my only opportunities to play are online and I'd rather not be distracted by software and administrative issues.
