Jono 64a

About 1 kyu, but now more interested in Go history and the leading players.

Ph.D. scientist who has lived in Australia, New Zealand, and America. Also quite familiar with chess, and have an amateur interest in linguistics.

A number of years ago, before strong AI Go programs, but after Internet Go, I found this site to be very helpful. But returning after a hiatus of several years, I found that a lot of articles had not been updated for a long time. So I wanted to pay back something to this site by updating lots of the player biographies, and adding relevant information. I have made a number of new pages, mainly of younger pros who had yet to have their own articles on this site. I also filled out some articles that were previously quite brief.

xela: Welcome to SL, and thanks for all the great work updating the player profiles! Are you still living in one of Australia, New Zealand, or America?

Jono64a: Thank you for your generous comments. I now live in the USA but still have lots of family in NZ.

Hanmanchu: Thank you for your contributions! My sentiment about SL is the same as you state above :)
