Jan De Wit
PageType: HomePage     Keywords: People

I'm a fourth-year Computer Science student. I picked up Go quite recently (16th feb 2001 if I'm not mistaken). Just started a Go for beginners course at the local (Utrecht, the Netherlands) club - so I figure I'm still 30 kyu or something. I'll try to keep this page updated as I progress (hopefully quite soon).

Update (9th april): Yesterday, I won my first 'serious' game at the Go Club Utrecht. Some better players placed me at 'klasse 60' (roughly 20 kyu, I believe) from what they'd seen from my game :-) As an added bonus, an expert player went through the first 80 moves of the game (also videotaped), because there were two students of psychology who wanted to study the interaction between players of different levels. Quite good to learn from...


Find out a bit more about me and my M.Sc. thesis, which is about providing genericity to the functional programming language Haskell ([ext] http://www.haskell.org) at [ext] http://www.students.cs.uu.nl/~jwit! Wiki-ing around here also made me feel comfortable enough to add some comments to the [ext] Haskell Wiki. There I can teach something! (But I'll still get overruled by the Knights of the Lambda Calculus :-)

In my free time, I've started programming GoZer?, a Go playing thingie in Java. It's currently in a 'playable-with' (as opposed to 'playable-against') state, but I'm going to tack on a random number generator next. And it's in Dutch.

If you're interested in mailing me, I can be reached at [ext] jwit@cs.uu.nl or [ext] jwit@studenten.net.

If all you want to do is beat or teach me, look for the nickname 'yatima' on both IGS and NNGS or 'yatima2975' on Yahoo!Games. Mentioning the Sensei's Library should get you a game :-)

The nickname comes from the great sci-fi novel 'Diaspora' by Greg Egan.



In the hope that it gets noticed (I don't know where to put it!) and as an experiment, I've started a page on BeginnersQuestionAboutInvasion.
