I first began to play Go around 1976 at the Berkeley Go Club and shortly thereafter at the San Francisco Go Club as well. In 1979 through a connection at the Berkeley Go Club, I went to see Japan "for a summer or a year" and have been here ever since. My involvement with Go has varied over the years as family and work have kept me more or less busy otherwise. I have played off and on for more than 25 years at the Takadanobaba Go Club near Takadanobaba Station in Tokyo.

Since late 2005 I have played in two amateur study groups, one at the Nihon Ki-in in Ichigaya and one near Tokyo station. The Ichigaya group puts me in regular contact with several pros, particularly: Sakai Maki 8p, Omori Yasushi 8p, and Kawai Shouji 5p. They are always up for a few beers afterward.

I started playing on-line in the mid 90's in the usual places. I played on DGS off and on from 2002 to 2010. Currently my on-line Go is effectively limited to KGS ('ez4u' in the Advanced Study Room), although I am also occasionally on the Kaya Go Server beta. I am more active over the board.

From time to time I annoy people with this or that opinion on Life in 19X19, again as 'ez4u'.

I have greatly enjoyed reviewing games for the [ext] Go Teaching Ladder (as "forfun", my original NNGS nic) which I think is a great resource. I strongly recommend being a reviewer to everyone.

I am a GoGoD/Kombilo addict and firmly believe that all truth and beauty (except for my dog, Roze) appears in the Kombilo search results box. :-)

I happened to view the front page in May 2010 and noticed the counter said there were currently 19,999 pages, so I could not resist creating this... Dave Sigaty / 20000th Page
