Yoyoma

I play on KGS as yoyoma, 1d as of November 19, 2007. I'm sure I'll go between 1d and 2d several times before holding 2d firmly (haha I had added this comment away from the KGS server, when I logged in I found my rating had drifted back from 2d to 1d).

I enjoy reviewing games, both my own and to help others.


Some links

  • KGSTeachingLadder - Receive free teaching, with the understanding that you will teach those weaker than you. (Rooms -> Room List -> lessons -> KGS Teaching Ladder)
  • GTL - Look at amateur game reviews and get your own games reviewed.
  • DonTAttachWhenAttacking - Important concept, I wish this page was a little better, maybe sometime I'll put some work into it.
  • KikashiAndInfluence - This page is ok, but scroll to the bottom and read Charles Matthews "point of kikashi against weak/strong groups".

My go rating history

Gaps represent times I didn't play that much, except the 1996 gap I was playing sporadically, but I don't have records of my IGS games (I got these few data points I have from GTL games). It's too bad KGS wasn't around to preserve my history from 28k to 5k!

 1995-04 - 28k IGS
 1995-08 - 24k IGS
 1995-09 - 23k IGS
 1997-03 -  5k IGS
 2002-10 - 10k KGS
 2002-11 -  8k KGS
 2002-12 -  7k KGS
 2003-06 -  5k KGS
 2003-08 -  4k KGS
 2003-12 -  3k KGS
 2004-03 -  2k KGS
 2004-05 -  1k KGS
 2004-09 -            * rating algorithm change, later bottom out around 5k
 2006-09 -            * rating algorithm changes again for KGS3, later recover to around 1k
 2006-11 -  1k KGS
 2006-12 -  1d KGS
 2007-09 -  2d KGS

I luckboxed my way to 2d!
