Salt Lake Go Club The go club that has been around for the longest in Utah. Has about 10 regulars and usually gets a few others that show up every once in a while. We meet at the Barnes & Noble in Sugar house every thursday from 7:00 P.M.-10:00P.M. The strength ranges from absolute beginner to 7d. Heres a quick profile on some of the members.

Members

Anders - The strongest of the regulars hes 3d and the creator of Smart Go.

Mike - Also known as Noobish on K.G.S. hes the current head of the SLC go club and the main organizer of the Utah Go events.

Erik - Known as Mrkibbles on KGS Often teaches people beginners outside of Go.

Matt - Mach1 on KGS our newest regular one of the shining stars of the go club

Mark - Our most senior member, has been in some sort of Utah Go Club since before IGS even. Strength: 6k

Kevin - Known as Mrnoob on KGS, one of our youngest members

Provo Go group: A club currently including about 6 regulars. We meet in The Dragons Keep at 260N. University avenue on Tuesdays from 6 to 9 pm. The skill level is pretty evenly distributed from 4 kyu to Go imbecile, so anyone within this range will be able to find both even opponents and slightly stronger opponents which can help them measure their progress. This is a very beautiful go club, so to join you need to be very beautiful.

Members:

Ben 4k: Also known as terrorist on KGS and Ben on IGS, this guy is probably the coolest and most handsome guy in the universe. Known for his unusual openings, global play, and bull-crap tenukis, this guy will destroy you if you are weaker then 5 kyu, but is mutilated when given a handicap.

Eric 8k: Also known as aguess on Kgs. Eric is a super pretty guy who is married, and is probably the 3rd strongest in the club (at least the editor feels that way right now). Eric is good at the opening, and is never very submissive, making him tuff to give a handicap to.

Alex 6k: Also known as McBurton? and Arate on KGS, Alex is terrible at the opening, pretty bad at the midgame, and needs work on his play during endgame. He foolishly underestimates opponent's moves, which occasionally works against Ben's laughable invasions.

Fernando 10k: This guy is the boss, the gangster Brazilian who will beat you to death with a yard stick if you try to steal from his garden. Plays really normally, and then you invade him and he kills you unless the invasion was actually reasonable. Pretends to like moyos. but the truth is he just cant hold on to low territory, and thus is forced to play for the center.

Mihn Yat 10k: Famous for playing super loud moves to convince his opponents that he is making strong plays, then staring at his opponent trying to look knowledgeable. Mihn suffers from the immensely cowardly style, sacrifices any group that he senses his opponent bears ill will toward. Very strong kibitzer. He always eats Ben's candy and occasionally gives him a ride in his car.

Jeff 10k: His playing style is "suck bad"/absolute orthodox. Has beaten everybody evetybody even at one point or another, except Ben (weather he has beat Ben is in dispute). Does not like playing anymore, but still comes.

Kerry 10k: About as good as everyone else. Has recently been experimenting with side based openings

BYU Go Club: The parent of the Provo Go Club, this club is now a tributary. Ben and Min attend this club, but the rest who come really, really, really, really suck. Min is in charge of this club, and it is dominated by math majors. This club meets around 5:15 p.m on Thursdays in the BYU math lab. Just walk around until you see us.

Members:

Ben 4k

Mihn Yat 10k

Skyler: This guy has creative parents. He is really bad, but is the best of the bad, and may one day become a respectable go player if he obediently listens to everything Ben says and if he ignores Min completely. Around 15 kyu.
