Name: Norman Perlmutter

Date of Birth: October 7, 1984

KGS Username: Norman314

I am a Ph.D. student in math living in New York City. I'm a member of the Brooklyn Go Club and the Mostly Go Meetup group. I've known the rules of go for many years -- first saw that game in the Klutz Book of Games when I was a child, but I began playing seriously in the spring of 2011. Since then, go has become an obsession. I'm now 5 kyu on KGS and [ext] continuing to improve.

I played chess competitively in high school. Now I just play chess casually. According to this, I have two or three stones to go until my go strength reaches my peak chess strength (about 1700 USCF). It's a silly comparison, but for some reason it seems like a milestone. Really, though, I'd like to hit dan level (like every other kyu . . .)

Favorite Go Books Kageyama: Lessons in the Fundamentals of Go

Yang: Fundamental Principles of Go

I can be reached by gmail, under the same username as my KGS username.


Welcome to Sensei's Norm! I'm also doing my PhD... And my blog's name is MostlyMaths? :D


Bob McGuigan: Hello Norman! Have you seen this page? According to that a USCF rating of 2000 corresponds to KGS 2 or 3 dan.
