I am a beginner at Go having started about 15 months ago.
I live in London, but am origninally from the French-speaking part of Switzerland.
I've now reached 9K on KGS but I hope to get to 5 Kyu by the end of 2009!
On one of my KGS accounts, I was highly amused to see myself reaching "2d?" simply as a result of beating one quite high kyu player and then watching the KGS programme moving me up automatically as the ratings of other opponents changed, although I have not played a game since on that account- for fear of spoiling my "rating"... There is clearly something to correct with the KGS software.
I am very interested in Go history, especially the games of Chinese Wei-qi masters, such as Fan Xiping, Shi Dingan and Huang Longshi. If anyone has information about them, please contact me.
willemien hint: Just make links of Fan Xiping, Shi Dingan and Huang Longshi then you would allready find more. (okay not very much but it is a start) Ps feel free to remove this remark after reading
I am currently working on a book on Fan Xiping and Shi Dingan's famous ten games at Danghu. If anyone has any information about these games and the players, please let me know. You will receive an acknowledgment! :)
