eko 410

PageType: HomePage    

I'm 8 kyu go player from Ankara, Turkey and a member of Hacettepe University Go Club. Also a member of Turkish Go Players' Association.

My real name is Cagatay Tavsanoglu, I am working as research assistant in Ecology Section, Dept. of Biology, Hacettepe University in Ankara.

If you are interested in ecology, you can realize that Go and ecology share similar properties in general, such as multi-dimensionality and having a holistic viewpoint.

I am learning go!:

  • 30 kyu -(1997)- I started to play
  • 18 kyu -(1998)-
  • 16 kyu -(1999)- I realized that I can win by constructing big moyos.
  • 14 kyu -(2003)- I realized that I can not win anymore by constructing big moyos, since my opponents can invade within them.
  • 13 kyu -(2003)- I finally gave up moyo strategy. I could invade to my opponent's big moyos.
  • 12 kyu -(2004)- I learned the importance of "sente", and begin to use it in my games.
  • 11 kyu -(2004)- I learned how to use the ladders with real meaning (at least I guess so).
  • 10 kyu -(2004)-
  • 9 kyu -(2005)- I learned that I should not afraid of invading areas with surrounding by my opponent's stones (surely, not in the endgame).
  • 8 kyu -- ???
