PageType: HomePage
Hi I'm Floris Barthel ( I play at my club in Hilversum and every once in a while i also visit the Go club in Utrecht. I currently play mostly on KGS and I am always present in 'The Dutch Windmill' (room), if you can't find me just yell out my name or something cause it could be i got a new account. Sometimes you can also find me on NNGS as 'fujiwara' (still at 17k, not been used in months ^_^) where I am also present in channel 1 a lot. I also play on the internet, mainly KGS and NNGS. Also, I have a bad tendency of making my thoughts too firm, which seems to bother a lot of people. Please know that this is not my intention and please correct me. Current Favorite OpeningBlack: Shusaku (I won Invincible in the Toyota Tour so now I am obsessed) White: Komuku & Mokuzuhashi openings My go historyMar 2, 2003: Started playing go, registered on NNGS as 'fujiwara' - 25k NNGS Mar 19, 2003: Joined KGS as 'fbarthel' - 18k NNGS, 20k KGS May 7, 2003: Registered a new KGS Username 'florisb' and stopped playing on NNGS, still go there to chat - 14k KGS May 24, 2003: Yet another new username 'floppy' - 11k KGS May 28 - Jun 1, 2003: Took part in the Amsterdam Toyota Tour as 10k, won 4/6 Jun 1, 2003: Again a new username 'flopdisk' - 7k KGS Jun 11, 2003: Took a break playing rated games and played a few free games against strong players using guest accounts (I beat three 2k during that period) Jun 17, 2003: Registered previous guest username 'CdRom?' - 5k?

Aug 8, 2003: Got another account at KGS (moyojojo). After playing 6 games with it, got my rank solidified to 1k. --- tsjanl: Congratulations with the Utrecht Tournament. Too shy to mention you finished as highest 5k? --- JanvanRongen: Floris hasn't got a nice go-ban, so I just told him (2003-06-29) that I will give him one if he can beat me before the end of this year (he needs to be about 2-dan to do that). Stefan: Go for it, Floris!! This sounds like the best way to get a free goban apart from winning the lottery of the Toyota Denso Cup preliminaries. --- Floris: A few reasons actually, one time i got a ~, a few times I kept winning but my rank wouldn't go up, yet another few times i was recommend to do so. Also once my account name got boring ^_^ Frs: Why did you registered more than 2 KGS accounts? dieter: I say! This is a progress worthy of a professional ! I haven't seen this since Catalin Taranu. FlorisBarthel: But Catalin wasn't taught by Guo Juan ^_^ But I do intend to reach 1d this year. Wish me luck :) Also, Arno if you read this can you create a new SLSnapshot soon? Internet (Go) is really expensive and my dad gets really angry when the bill is super high (which it is every month :P) which also influences the frequency I am allowed to visit Guo Juan for a lesson. :( Oh, and ADSL is coming if you were wondering why I don't have it, but it is just taking an eternity :/ P.S. Dieter, I love your article on GoBase on the anti-chinese. Up to now my opponents who play chinese haven't read it ^_^ Dieter: My article ??? I don't have any ! Where ? Charles Dieter, no pirate copies of my writings, please .. :) FlorisBarthel Oh lol, yes it was Charles Matthews, On your Side. Oops :/
