cubyrop: It should be made mention of that because of his distinctive and fearless style, TheCaptain is one of the more influential players on KGS, with many erstwhile power-seekers emulating his brand of play, to varying degrees of success.
Also, Cap'n has mentioned that he has recently tamed his style a bit, and this change can be seen in his recent games. For great fun, check out his matches against Danoontje.
