wegobad

PageType: HomePage    

I'm Mike Malveaux, wegobad on DGS, KGS, and IGS. (Wei'qi, igo, baduk... get it?) (I was "TakeNGive" for some years, but that screen-name is retired.) My age is nearing 45, and I've been playing Go almost twenty years, on and off. I live in Tacoma (near Seattle), where I get to play pretty often (yay!), and teach the game to kids. My [ext] AGA rating is -4.

I'm less active here than I used to be (probably a good thing ;-) but I take initial blame for: Where would you play?; TournamentDirecting; Go at the Olympics; Making Go More Popular; and some of Teaching methods, particularly First Capture. (My theory and practice of teaching has changed somewhat; I'll have to make time to revive / revise that discussion.)

I maintain(ed) an archive of [ext] AGA E-Journal; and I did a few reviews for the [ext] GTL, and added a bit to [ext] Go Problems. I played on the DragonSensei go teaching team at DGS. I have some [ext] Go-themed t-shirts and whatnot for sale through [ext] CafePress. If anyone wants to print them locally, contact me and I'll send you PNGs (for dye-sub) or color-separated TIFFs (for screening). (Sorry, my graphics software is too old to generate decent EPS.)

I helped with the 2005 U.S. Go Congress (mostly the [ext] logo) in Tacoma Washington; and I attended the [ext] 2006 U.S. Go Congress in North Carolina. It was so great! I placed 3rd in the 6-kyu band, and met some new life-long friends. Also I finally got a [ext] GoBase account, and now I'm on the [ext] AGF Mentor Committee, so life is pretty good.

I wish I'd investigated SenseisLibrary sooner -- it seems to have more aji than [ext] RGG. Thanks for everything, Morten, Arno, and all the dedicated deshi!
