Thomas Buchholz

Hello everybody.

I'm 27 and study teaching profession (English and History) at Cologne University. I reached 1dan in 2006 and 2dan in 2007. I live in Troisdorf, Germany.

Summer 2002 I first heard about Go from Michael D., a chat friend of mine. He introduced me to Hikaru no Go and after I watched it I became very interested in Go. So I played on KGS as 'Funaru' and met a Go-Player from Bonn. He invited me to visit the go club in Bonn and next Thursday I did so together with my best friend. Up until now I have played hundreds of games on KGS (mostly fast games) and participated in some German tournaments. I prefer real games, because online I just can't concentrate so well. I'm going to play regularly at BiPi's Bistro in Cologne.

Also have a look at my friends' pages:
