Livejournal: Down the River: Daniel's e-Journal
Hi there! I am an admittedly weak player (25? K) player from Upstate New York. I'm the only person I personally know who plays go. ^^; Thank goodness for DGS and KGS.
My player IDs are Quicksilvre for DGS and DBW913 for KGS. On DGS, I prefer fast, one more or more a day games. On KGS, I typically I play without main time, with Canadian time of 5/20 or, if I'm feeling fast, 3/20. I usually prefer 9x9 on KGS and all sizes on DGS.
My lone contribution to the go world so far was the DGS-Shogun tournament, which was an attempt in the Spring of 2003 to bring tournament go to DGS. Unfortunately, boredom set in, both between me and the players, and then my health failed and that was that. Here's the link, if you're interested: I Shogun Tournament. It's long over--drat the luck. Big ups to Gary Williams for assuming the role of tournament director when I couldn't.
As for goals...I would love to become a shodan someday, but I'm coming on to college soon and it seems as though the amount of time I'll have to play will decline. On the other hand, I might go to RIT, and some face-to-face training with the Empty Sky Go Club may well be a possibility. Any suggestions for improvement will be happily accepted.
Pages you can blame on me:

30 December 2004--played a couple of games like a retard, both on Igowin and on KGS. Wonderful.
27 December 2004--Merry belated Christmas, all.
My DGS rank continues to sink while my KGS rank is quite a bit higher and steady. I'm not sure what that means, is it just a hiccup in the ranks? Probably.
22 December 2004--nooooo! My Dragon rating dipped to its lowest level in months after a close loss. My heart is now broken.
(later) YES! Made it to 25K on KGS. Okay, my heart is unbroken.
