Hiya. I'm a Go player. I had a pause of few months between last playing more than once a month and the several games a day now. My old KGS account is piipaa and the new one is puripuri. I'm trying to spend time at the KGSTeachingLadder room and to contribute there too.

I was something like 1 dan to 2 kyu KGS in the past, now I'm back at 3 kyu. I am cute and pokeable and respond to cookies.

Writing now (21/04/04), I just suddenly came to realize how little Go I actually play. I watch higher dans play and do teaching now and then, but just normal playing with people of similar ranks has been completely left to the back seat. Also I probably never followed the advice I've given so often to many people: "A beginner should lose 100 games as fast as possible". Well, maybe it was 50 games. Anyways now I'm going to try my hardest, and lose 100 games doing it, all by playing even or near-even games as often as there's time. I already have two losses, only 98 to go.

Oh yea, that doesn't mean that I've never lost 50 games in my life. It means that I overlooked and ignored my losses, buried them deep inside some forbidden closet, and studied Go matters restlessly until I could sandbag a few ranks up again, repeating the process over. That means... I'm a rank-up junkie? No wonder I play so much RPG games...
