topazg
My real name is Graham Philips and I'm a Go player and programmer from Ely (near Cambridge) in the UK. I have an official EGF rating of 1190 (8.9k) - My EGD Card.
Picture of Me (Excuse the terrible colouring):
Most of my spare time is spent developing OGS, which started at the beginning of November 2005 and has steadily grown.
You can find me as topazg on DGS and occasionally on
KGS, but I've not been on the latter as much as I would have liked recently.
I always like meeting online Go players in RL tournaments, so if you are coming to one (I will keep a list on here of upcoming ones I will be attending) it would be great to say "hi"!
I am also very keen on finding new and creative ways to evangelise Go to the masses of people still ignorant to its glorious beauty and subtlety.

2007 Epsom Tournament - 7th July 2007
