I'm Mike Malveaux, wegobad on go servers. (Wei'qi, igo, baduk... get it?) I'm 40-ish, and I've been playing go about fifteen years intermittently. I now live near Seattle, where I get to play more often (yay!) My AGA rating is -7.
Wow -- I go away for a year, and you guys make the site ... just... wonderful! <sniff> <sniff> It is so beautiful... My hat is off to all you wonderful deshi, and of course MortArno!
I take the blame for: Where would you play?; TournamentDirecting; Go at the Olympics; Making Go More Popular; and some of Teaching methods, particularly First Capture. (My ideas of optimal teaching methods have evolved somewhat; I'll have to make time to revive / revise the discussion.)
I maintain an archive of AGA E-Journal; and I did a few reviews for the
GTL (but some of them are very wrong!), and added a bit to
Go Problems. I have a few
go links I like.
I wish I'd investigated SenseisLibrary sooner -- it seems to have more aji than RGG. Thanks for everything, Morten and Arno!
