Niklaus
My name is Niklaus Häfliger and I live in Luzern, Switzerland. I started playing Go in September 2001. In fact, I played my first game on September the 11th. So far I made it to 4k at KGS, where I play as tianyuan, and in RealLife(tm). I study sinology (chinese philology) at Zurich University. You'll also find me playing at the Zurich Go Club almost every Wednesday evening. If you live near me (or are just visiting Luzern) don't hesitate to contact me, I like playing in real life a lot better than on the internet. Email me at niklaus at lcc dot ch
Current favourite openings:
When playing black: Yonrensei, usually leads to a nice influence based game, just the way I like it (sometimes I also play Tengen, as my kgs username obliges me to :)
When playing white: 2 Mokuhazushi, parallel or diagonally, mixed success so far, often makes my opponents do stupid things, like "approaching" on Hoshi, but I am also not that familiar with the joseki yet. But getting there.
