Tokee
My true name is Stefan, I come from Witten (Germany, NRW). As a kid, I played go with my brother. We only knew the rules and had much fun with it. It *always* began at tengen, and after that, two widly fighting, spiraling groups would fight each other. After the match we stood back to watch the beautiful picture.
Isnt that true go? To not bother about consequences too much, but have just fun?
Later, we stopped playing go.
I only begun again, because a friend of mine, will? wanted to learn the rules, after I told him about the game. Or did I want him learn the rules? ☺ Forgot. After a few, if not a dozen frustrating 19x19 games for both (he never took handicap) he suddenly got "the enlightment" how to play and from that on beat me all the time :( ☺. Thanks will?, for creating enthusiasm also in me.
I am now better than 7kyu real (dont know for sure atm), and 5kyu at kgs.
I am in the ASR-League,
and learn from Guo Juans audiogolessons.
I also wrote a few haikus here, related to go.
