p 1pon

PageType: HomePage    

I'm a French beginner, currently rated 23-kyu (as of 2005-12-26) on [ext] Dragon Go Server, where I log as [ext] p1pon (external link). I'm currently not rated on IGS.

I live in Lille, in the north of France, just a few kilometers from the Belgian border. I work as an Air Traffic Controller at Merville-Calonne Airport (ICAO code LFQT). More details on my DGS biography.


I'm a lucky owner of copies of the following rare (out-of-print) French go books:

  • Le guide marabout du go by Kaoru Iwamoto (French language paperback translation of Go for Beginners, end of 70's) bought 10 years ago for 5 FRF (now less than 1 EUR) at a boot sale);
  • Les bases techniques du go - le jeu ŕ 9 pierres de handicap by LIM YOO JONG and Hervé DICKY (adapted -not really translated- into English as [ext] Mastering the Basics of Go, published by Slate & Shell), found two years ago in an old bookstore while on holidays in the Center of France.

I only started learning "serious" go, even if I've been knowing the rules for 10 years now.

So I decided to take time to read "Les bases techniques du go". Layout is messy and it submerges you with japanese terms, but it looks quite extensive on 9-stones handicap, from a black point of view. Anyhow I ordererd a copy of the English translation, as it seems better organised and less intensive on Japanese terms...
