Random Thoughts

I first became interested in Go when I found my father playing on Yahoo in August 1998. Unfortunately, university studies pretty much distracted me from playing seriously until 2002. : ( I discovered KGS in January 2002 and luckily, it was my last semester. It was because of KGS that I decided to try to reach some strength higher than 25k.

You can see a rough picture of me at [ext] http://www.io.com/~tsu/kgspicture1.

I like to try new openings. You will never see me playing the Chinese opening, though. Recently, I've found fighting games to be fun. I am not a moyo player so if I see a developing moyo, I'll invade.

Contrary to popular opinion, I like sandbaggers and am always grateful to play one. There are too many selfish Go players nowadays and sandbaggers are the antithesis of them!

Definition of Halfling: a Hobbit (as in Lord of the Ringssss)

Join me and Swan for a turn-based game on Dragon Go Server! Just invite the user Swan_+_Halfling. Or you can just play me by inviting the user Smeagol.

I play worst when I am saddest... : (

Computer Problems : (

  • Sometimes, I'm logged on from an old laptop that overheats after an hour of use... : (
  • Or from an old desktop that spontaneously reboots... : (
  • If you chat me and I never respond but appear online, it's not that I am ignoring you. :( My computer or connection simply sucks.

MK: Welcome here! About "Direction of Play" - I read it and it gave me nothing but a strong feeling of confusion.
