I play on KGS as yoyoma, usually 1d.
I enjoy reviewing games, both my own and to help others.

Math and Statistics
Thickness
Can I live under that 4-4 stone? What about this enclosure? What about this one? What about this other one? Answer to all these: It depends on the surroundings. Walls halfway across the board make a difference!
Endgame and Counting
Interesting positions from my own games
Maybe I could put these on various BQMs or Random Tseumego and use an index here to keep track of them for my own use.

My go rating history
Gaps represent times I didn't play that much, except the 1996 gap I was playing sporadically, but I don't have records of my IGS games (I got these few data points I have from GTL games). It's too bad KGS wasn't around to preserve my history from 28k to 5k!
1995-04 - 28k IGS 1995-08 - 24k IGS 1995-09 - 23k IGS
1997-03 - 5k IGS
2002-10 - 10k KGS 2002-11 - 8k KGS 2002-12 - 7k KGS
2003-06 - 5k KGS 2003-08 - 4k KGS 2003-12 - 3k KGS 2004-03 - 2k KGS 2004-05 - 1k KGS 2004-09 - * rating algorithm change, later bottom out around 5k
2006-09 - * rating algorithm changes again for KGS3, later recover to around 1k 2006-11 - 1k KGS 2006-12 - 1d KGS 2007-09 - 2d KGS 2007-11 - 1d KGS * After here I couldn't get back to 2d for a long time 2009-09 - 2d KGS * Finally returned after 2 years!
