Hi there! I am an admittedly weak player (28K Dragon, 22K Kiseido) 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 [ext] Quicksilvre for DGS and [ext] DBW913 for KGS and IGS.

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: [ext] 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. Still, any suggestions for improvement will be happily accepted.

Pages you can blame on me:


Daniel's Go News

8 August 2005--I've got to start playing at KGS again. I don't know why I quit, but it's been weeks and weeks. Tomorrow, I go back and start again. I don't even know if I have a rank still; I haven't even looked. D'oh!

In other news, I move to college in two weeks. SO even if I do play again, I'll only have so much time to play in the next month or so.

28 June 2005--Wow. It's been almost four whole weeks since I updated. Mostly I've just played at Little Golem and DGS; I have hardly played at KGS at all. It's tough; a lot of players are reluctant to play members with a question mark in their rank. While I admit I've done the same, it makes it hard to recover my rank.

2 June 2005--The run-up to college has been absolutely nutty. I've got the end-of-the-year obligations at Albany High until I graduate on the 26th. Then, I have orientation at RPI from July 15-16 and move-in and more orientation August 23rd. It's been an orgy of filling out forms and running from place to place. And that is exactly why I still have a KGS question-mark rating. I'm hoping to rectify that this weekend, though I doubt it.
