wegobad

PageType: HomePage    

I'm Mike Malveaux, wegobad on go servers. (Wei'qi, igo, baduk... get it?) (Before that, I was "TakeNGive" for some years, but that screen-name is retired.) I'm 40-ish, and I've been playing go almost twenty years intermittently. I now live near Seattle, where I get to play more often (yay!) My [ext] AGA rating is -6.

Wow -- I go away for a year, and you guys make the site ... just... wonderful! <sniff> <sniff> It is so beautiful... My hat is off to all you wonderful deshi, and of course MortArno!

I take initial blame for: Where would you play?; TournamentDirecting; Go at the Olympics; Making Go More Popular; and some of Teaching methods, particularly First Capture. (My ideas of optimal teaching methods have evolved somewhat; I'll have to make time to revive / revise the discussion.)

I maintain(ed) an archive of [ext] AGA E-Journal; and I did a few reviews for the [ext] GTL (but some of them are very wrong!), and added a bit to [ext] Go Problems. I play on the DragonSensei go teaching team at DGS. I have a few [ext] go links I like.

Currently I'm excited about the [ext] U.S. Go Congress 2005 (I take credit for the spiffy logo), which will be in my hometown (Tacoma Washington) this August 6-14, 2005. I hope y'all come!

I wish I'd investigated SenseisLibrary sooner -- it seems to have more aji than [ext] RGG. Thanks for everything, Morten and Arno!
