Kenn Knowles
I'm a grad student at UC Santa Cruz who plays with the Santa Cruz Go Association and I am the primary organizer of the UCSC Campus Go Club.
KGS
I'm kknowles on KGS, about 15k. Many 13k and 12k say I should be ranked higher, but I'm on a bit of a losing streak. Basically I've discovered I'm afraid to invade, and to counter it I've been making invasions and playing too fast and losing big groups.
The other problem is that the KGS handicaps are pretty much always wrong, and when you add that to the chaotic nature of 14-17k play, a lot of games go weird directions.
I'm a critic of self-paired rating systems, having done a small amount of reading, and witnessed the rank chaos on KGS. So my ideal go server would have an ongoing tournament a la Western Go, which I've decided to join as a more serious rating system than KGS. I'm also trying to follow the discussion of UGS but we'll have to wait and see how that turns out.
Western Go
I'm just starting on the western go ladder, and I expect to be in the second from the last tier, but I haven't got my assignment.
Teaching / Learning
I have the strang position of being a beginner who also has to show people the game for the first time a lot, since I advocate go at my university (UCSC). So I think atari go is the best way to get people into it right away, even if it develops bad habits. I think it greatly underestimates people to say they'd have trouble getting over the habits they form playing it, so I don't worry about that.
I haven't got a chance, but I really want to play a game of three-player (two-color) go and see how it is for players at my level.
