Ian Rapley, Central London Go Club;

haniwa on igs (alas now dead) was 60-68 or so tripitaka on igs, not doing too well...

2004 stats:

  • IRL: 21 wins, 22 losses 1 jigo at 2 kyu, UK.
  • IGS: 42 wins, 43 losses at 4k* pushing for 3k*

2003 stats:

  • IRL: 42 wins, 42 losses (that I have records for, so approx) at 2 kyu, UK. European rating 1780ish
  • IGS: 42 wins, 52 losses at 4k* (with the occasional dalliance at 5k*)

I was fortunate enough to have a number of strong players teach me in Japan; one day I hope to be both strong and dedicated enough to try to return the favour

Kokiri is a romanisation of the korean for elephant that should perhaps be Kokkiri, or Koggiri or Kokgiri

岡目八目; 傍目八目 【おかめはちもく】

this is my current favourite proverb. Oka Me Hachi Moku it means, roughly, that when you are deeply involved in something, you may not see things that that are obvious to onlookers. The go application of this is that kibitzers may see things that the players themselves don't. I don't particularly agree with this in practice but:

  • 傍目, okame means onlooker, but 岡, oka, means hill, so okame could be somebody on a hill.
  • 八目 Hachimoku is literally 8 eyes, but (I believe) 8 is often used to mean all directions much as we say things are scattered to the four winds. On the other hand 八目 also means eight points in go terms.
  • therefore it could be translated as from a hill, you can see in all directions or, with a little leeway, kibitzers' komi is 8 points
