I first began to play Go around 1976 at the Berkeley Go Club and shortly thereafter at the San Francisco Go Club as well. In 1979 through a connection at the Berkeley Go Club, I went to see Japan "for a summer or a year" and have been here ever since. My involvement with Go has varied over the years as family and work have kept me more or less busy otherwise. Currently (Jan. 2001) I play as a 5d at the Takadanobaba Go Club near Takadanobaba Station in Tokyo and at the Oyamadai Igo Center on the Oimachi Line in western Tokyo. However, ratings deflation (it couldn't be my lack of ability :-) has driven my rating down to 1k* on IGS although I still manage a d* on NNGS and WING.
I greatly enjoy reviewing games for the Go Teaching Ladder (as "forfun") which I think is a great resource. I strongly recommend being a reviewer to everyone. I hope that Sensei's Library will be a similar success.

The action in the lower right finally ends when Black extends with . White preempts the bottom left with . But does Black turn away to the empty corner at the top? Of course not! Instead he digs right in with 6 and the two of them go at it again. But this is running to too many diagrams, so...
I will simply add that the board looks like this 45 moves later when White finally turns to the last open corner.
