RBerenguel
About me
Maths PhD student at the University of Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain), so I used to play at GoMUB. First attempt to play after viewing 'A Beautiful Mind' but gave up soon after learning the rules. Re-started in 11th july 2003, registering at KGS (as RBerenguel).
After one year and a week, I was 12k on KGS (after being always "XX?k"). Then, almost one year and a half without playing, when due to KGS rank shift and maybe a little improving I got to 11k before the shift, 6k after. Then, another year passed without playing and now I'm here again (it seems that fall gets me to play more go?).
Here again, ranked '6k' as RBerenguel in KGS.
I feel I play a little better, and I can solve problems quicker. Maybe stopping for a while is good for me. Or maybe if I just had kept playing I would be now a lot better (not so hard :)

Tsumego Junkie
For a few months I was victim of this and started doing a lot of tsumego, at GoProblems and anywhere else. At GoProblems it was like this:

For the time being, I'm sane again....
Igowin streaks
I tend to play a lot against igowin while at Windows (when I want to clear my mind, or just take a break) and want to see if I get any better. So I'll write my stats every 100 games (I'll reset every 200 or 300 games). I stopped keeping a log of this when I was in the middle of one of my best streaks (3k+0.5, most 3 best 4d with almost 200 games). I think it is the source of most of my errors while playing 9x9 go.
