ブレイクI am a Cyclical Go Player(tm), as I go through phases of playing every day and not playing for weeks. Right now, though, I'm getting back into the game, and am currently sitting around 12k KGS, and I'm rated 14k IGS (this being a rough guess of rank differences; I don't play there often enough to get a 'real' ranking). I am active on the Go Teaching Ladder once again. We'll see how that goes :) I am not Blake Haber. We are separate people. We coexist peacefully in our different identities. Both of us play go, yes. Both of us are named Blake, yes. However, he is one person, and I am another. We are not the same. When I play on KGS under the name "Blake," I am still not Blake Haber. On IGS, as "Blake," I remain not-Blake Haber. Indeed, one could say that, at no point in our history, has Blake Haber been Blake Hyde. Nor has Blake Hyde (that is, me), been him. I hope that clears things up. Rubyflame and myself have begun a jubango (ten-game series) using traditional handicapping methods. It begins at even--no komi, with us alternating playing as white and black--and, if one of us begins to fall behind, it will use the old handicapping method (the first handicap being, "black in two games out of three"). Since there is no komi, jigo is possible. Wins are 1 point, losses are 0, jigo is ½. Games are played with 40 minutes thinking time, and Canadian overtime set at 10/20.

I really enjoy teaching games and reviews. If I'm on KGS and I'm not playing a game, feel free to ask me to play. I'm also listed on the Go Teaching Ladder and in the KGS Mentoring Scheme. If you're between, oh, 24 kyu and 18 kyu, I'd be glad to take you on as a mentee. Any stronger and I really wouldn't feel comfortable teaching you; any weaker and the best way for you to improve is simply by playing.
