About Me...

http://www.phong.org/pix/kgs_norank-alignright.png I'm fairly new at Go. I started getting into it around April of 2003 on NNGS, but got away from it for too long. I finally got back into things again in late November of 2003. Just as I was really making major progress, I inexplicably disappeared for six months only to appear again in December of 2004. My game is completely destroyed, but perhaps I'll stick to it the next time I start to show improvement.

I am also fwiffo on KGS and NNGS. I have a [ext] personal homepage where I have all kinds of junk. You may recognize the name [ext] Fwiffo from [ext] Star Control II.

(ColJac: Hi there. I certainly do remember Fwiffo from StarCon2?. That was the most awesome game ever invented. Though you certainly chose a cowardly alter-ego, hunam.)

I'm a bit of a collector of hobbies, many computer related. My favorite programming languages are Python, Ruby and Perl. I am a moderator on the [ext] Gentoo Linux forums and a regular on [ext] HydrogenAudio. I used to collect [ext] tarantulas, but lack time for that lately. You can also take a look at my [ext] KGS game archive or my [ext] KGS rating graph. I have a [ext] small collection of problems on goproblems.com.

Death of a Glider

White decides that the ko threat at B1 is big enough to respond to.

Death of a Glider (2)

Black is unable to make a living shape. If B3 is played at W4 instead, then White plays the vital point at B3. B3 at a also fails.
