Splice
PageType: HomePage    

My name is Sebastien Leclair. I'm 23 years old and I live in Canada. On KGS (and on [ext] IGS, to a much lesser extent), I play as splice and am rated 18k there. I attend a local go club that's headed by a 5 dan amateur and took some lessons from Yilun Yang, which I had to discontinue for the moment because of money problems. I've been playing go for maybe 4 months now (since March 2002 or so). I've been visiting SL since I started and have found it a very valuable resource. I've just recently started contributing and hopefully won't make too much a fool of myself :)

I guess I got involved in go because of my general interest in Japanese culture. I am currently studying Japanese (elementary level, still a ways to go :) at a local community centre. I also practice Iaido, a Japanese martial art which deals with the use of the katana, under Dave Green sensei, 4th dan, who studied under Kim Taylor sensei, 6th dan, who in turn studied under Goyo Ohmi sensei, 7th dan. I watch anime pretty often (yes, I am a Hikaru no Go Junkie). I eat Japanese food when I can. I'm planning on going to Japan in maybe 2 or 3 years, when I figure I'll be able to communicate a bit in Japanese. Maybe while I'm there I'll get to go to a few go clubs and get stronger.

For now, I play maybe one or two games a day on KGS, participate in the [ext] Wings Go Club monthly leagues, and order books when I have the funds to do so. I hope to keep on getting stronger. I'm open to teaching games if anyone is willing to teach me. I don't consider myself strong enough to teach weaker players much yet.
