Shaydwyrm
PageType: HomePage    

Hi

I'm a student at MIT, and I've been playing go on KGS as Shaydwyrm since mid-February 2004 (and more recently as Warded). I'm happy to give teaching games to anyone 6 or more stones weaker than me, so feel free to message me if you'd like. I also play regularly at the Massachusetts Go Association. Additionally, I have recently been taking part in JadeGarden's KGS Mentoring Scheme. If you want me to mentor you, and you are 20k or weaker, feel free to ask.

Current Progress:

16k by Apr. 11
15k by Apr. 17
Account is now unrated, will start a new ranked account soon...
May 6: New rated account "Warded" started.

Coolest page I've seen on SL: Point Popularity By Move Number

Some of my favorite shapes:

Double Keima Thing

It just looks cool, in my opinion... Also, I don't think Big Bulge is nearly an elegant enough name for it. I prefer something like "keima triad".

2-space High Pincer

I am becoming less infatuated with this, despite its apparent popularity, since I have a lot of trouble managing the pincer stone afterwards. I'm trying to force myself to consider the benefits of either a more severe 1-space pincer or a more relaxed 3-space pincer instead of this, which seems to be something of a middle ground. Still, it's far too early to give up on it just yet.

My inventory of books:
