Welcome to my page,
My name is Joseph and I'm a 20 year old Go player who lives on the Rocky Mountain front range (USA). When I'm not playing Go, I like to work on my music, listen to obscure albums, explore different varieties of strategy games, relax with my cats, and enjoy a low-key day around the house.
I am a former chess player who got turned onto Go by my brother's friend. After watching the two play, I was very intimidated by the game and was too fearful to start playing. But at some point, I somehow I managed to gain enough courage to learn how to play the game. Four months later and here I am at 7 kyu! I feel very confident in my abilities (even though I am still quite weak). Through it all, I just love to play Go, and I expect a life-long reward from this majestic game.
