Hi, this is my homepage at the senseis library. I'm a dutch 1k playing at the Groningen Go Club. I play at KGS regularly as Shimrod.

I started playing go on august 18, 1995, when I went to study computer science at the university of groningen. I'm stopped playing somewhere toward the end of 1999 when I lost interest. I've recently started playing again after discovering Hikaru no Go in july 2002, which motivated me to pick up this great game once again :-)


I'm currently trying to learn Japanese through a course at the university, together with ElDraco. Go terms make interesting topics for discussion is this context, but recently we ran in to one that we simply couldn't find or translate. Can anyone tell us what the origin/meaning of the word komi is? We tried looking up different variations of the word in kanji & kana, but to no avail. Also, we are interested in the origin and meaning of the word uchikomi, which seems to have several meanings (in go it can mean invasion or beating down, but I also found references to it as a training technique in martial arts)
