Bob Myers learned go 25 years ago from Sangit Chatterjee (author of Galactic Go), with whom he maintains a friendly rivalry, although both remain stuck at the mid-dan level (AGA 3d). He lived in Japan for many years, where he ran a translation/localization company, before returning to the US in 1999. Currently located in LA, Bob plays at the Santa Monica Go Club.
