I am Sébastien Moulin, a 27-year old French player, vice president of the
Paris Observatory go club. I am also in charge of the competitions in the "Ligue de go d'Ile-de-France" (the Paris region section of the French Go Federation).
My favorite go server is by far KGS, where you can find me under the nickname phenomene. I am an Assistant on KGS. You are welcome to visit my go club room (Club de l'Observatoire, in the clubs section) on the server (a French speaking room).
I started to play in October 1998, and my strength is currently 1 dan on the French rating list. I like the theoretical and aesthetical aspects of the game, and am known to spend more time discussing about go positions than playing myself. :-) In fact I play almost only during tournaments. I also enjoy go history and I am interested in what happens in the professional world too.
I sometimes review some games for the Go Teaching Ladder. I do not write a lot on Sensei's Library, but I read many contributions here and I must admit I am a Recent Changes Junkie. I am an administrator (together with jyem and glue) of the new French go wiki Encygopedie. Have a look at it! (Many thanks to Arno by the way.)
Feel free to correct any English mistakes I may write on SL.
Recent news (November 29th, 30th, 2003): After good results in the 2003 Paris Meijin Tournament (winning 3 games out of 5 against 1 and 2 dan players), I earned promotion to shodan on the French rating list. Happy to reach this milestone!
Arno: phenomene is also "famous" for making review #3000 at the Go Teaching Ladder. Congrats :o)
phenomene: Thank you! The Go Teaching Ladder is a great idea, let me thank all the people maintaining it.
