Bill Spight

PageType: HomePage    

Some day I will have a real web page. ;-) I have one now: [ext] http://hometown.aol.com/billspight/myhomepage/index.htm I learned go when I was living in Japan in the late '60s from a friend who was 5 kyu. My girlfriend's father was a 2 dan who gave me 7 stones. After several months I could beat him if I lost only 2 groups. ;-)

I have been 5 dan since September, 1981. Because of rank inflation, that means that my play has deteriorated. These days I play a game or two a month for fun. (Actually, things are picking up. I have had a win-loss ratio of over 5:1 for over 2 years. :-) But that is only among a small group of friends.)

I do research about the endgame and kos, and have discovered a method for evaluating multiple kos, which I have published academically. I am known, I suppose, for precise numerical calculation, but I play mostly by intuition and feel. :-)

Spight developed a system of classifying moves. The classes are sometimes described as Spightonians.
