I first began to play Go around 1976 at the Berkeley Go Club and shortly thereafter at the San Francisco Go Club as well. In 1979 through a connection at the Berkeley Go Club, I went to see Japan "for a summer or a year" and have been here ever since. My involvement with Go has varied over the years as family and work have kept me more or less busy otherwise. I have played off and on for close to 25 years at the Takadanobaba Go Club near Takadanobaba Station in Tokyo.

Since late 2005 I have played in two amateur study groups, one at the Nihon Ki-in in Ichigaya and one near Tokyo station. The Ichigaya group puts me in regular contact with several pros, particularly: Sakai Maki 8p, Takahashi Hideo 7p, and Kawai Shouji 5p. They are always up for a few beers afterward.

I started playing on-line in the mid 90's in the usual places. I played actively on DGS from 2002 through 2005. Currently my on-line Go is limited to KGS but I am considerably more active over the board.

I greatly enjoy reviewing games for the [ext] Go Teaching Ladder (as "forfun") which I think is a great resource. I strongly recommend being a reviewer to everyone.
