Started playing in the late spring of 2002. Currently bumbling along trying to learn how to play this game... Plays online on the NNGS (ccwills) and KGS (cheyenne) servers I have been playing mostly on KGS lately. First encounter with GO was when visiting a friend's brother at MIT in the mid 70's. I was fascinated by the demo 9x9 game that I played. However at home, I couldn't find anyone interested in playing or learning. My next encounter was in the mid 80's when I stumbled across a computer version of GO in the early stages of the world wide web. I still didn't fully understand the game enough to play against even this simple program. Finally in the spring of 2002, while surfing around, I stumbled upon an online GO server, and from there some very kind people who helped plant the seeds for understanding the game. I also discovered a local GO club and some helpful players there. December 2003 Entered an AGA tournament in Denver as a 10 kyu (based off some recommendation from one of the dans from the local club). Won my first game (4 stone handicap against a 6 kyu), and was told that I stronger then 10 kyu by my opponent. However I then proceeded to lose my next three games (against an 18 kyu -- 8 stones is tough and then two other 6 kyu's).
