I live in Iowa City, Iowa.
7k on KGS with the screen name Silverleaf, and on DragonGoServer with same sn. I used to play on Yahoo.
I head WestHighGoClub.
A member of IowaGoSociety.
My playing style is very moyo-oriented, and I prefer to take influence over territory. I won't hesitate to play Tengen if it seems like a good move, to establish moyo or as a reduction move. I've been playing Go for about 10 years, but I've only been trying to learn for about half a year. I'm basically self-taught, I suppose.
Before Go, I spent a significant volume of my time (1000+ hours) playing Starcraft and Warcraft 3; but Starcraft ladder system is horrible and my video card isn't good enough for Warcraft, so I got into playing Go, and didn't look back. I wonder if any SC skills transfer over to Go...?
I also am an anime consumer to an extreme, though HnG somehow doesn't appeal to me that much :/ Favorites include Cowboy Bebop, Noir, Scrapped Princess, Trigun, Ghost in the Shell. Oh, and recently, Elfen Leid.
