Hi, this is my homepage at Sensei's Library. I'm a Dutch 3 dan (as of 2009) playing at the Delft Go Club (Until recently at the Groningen Go Club, of which I am still a member)
I played my first game of go (9x9, 6 handicap) on august 18, 1995, against Andre Engels (then 1st kyu) at a promotional stand. This stand was part of the introductory activities when I went to study computer science at the university of Groningen. I then took a beginners course in september & october.
I stopped playing somewhere toward the end of 1999 when I lost interest. I started playing again after discovering Hikaru no Go in july 2002, which motivated me to pick up this great game once again. Since then I've gained 3 dan grades.
I am one of the organizers of the European Go Congress 2009
