About me


My name is Scott Jankowski, and I'm a 24 year old guy from Buffalo, New York. I learned to play Go a while back, maybe end of 2004, early 2005... but mostly at the "Why are you taking my stones off the board?!?" level. In late 2005, after I read some Hikaru no Go manga, I found myself wanting to know more about the game. I started on Yahoo Games, but soon found KGS where I now play as Ellimist and Amadeo.

Some of my favorite quotes:

Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.

      -Lou Holtz

Continuous effort, not strength or intelligence is the key to unlocking our potential.

     -Liane Cardes

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

     -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Own only what you can carry with you; know language, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag.

     -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death.

   -Harold Wilson

We confide in our strength without boasting of it; we respect the strength of others without fearing it.

     -Jefferson

“If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it.”

     -Jesse Jackson

“What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you.”

     -Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Focus on what you are doing, not how long or hard it is."

     -Jeff Keith
