KoKs

PageType: HomePage    

Hi, my name is Tran Phuong (Phuong is first name). You can also find me as koks on KGS and rec.games.go usenet group or koks9dan on [ext] http://godiscussions.com

My blog is: [ext] http://koks.d3zigners.com/blog

I am Vietnamese but currently studying and, well, playing go in Australia. So, somehow, you can see me more frequently in Australia Room as koks rather than Vietnamese Room ^_^! However, lately I have been pretty busy so that I only play go offline.

My current rank is about 2 dan Aussie(precisely Sydney).

Language-in order of fluency: Vietnamese, English, American Sign Language, Japanese.

I did the Vietnamese translation of MoyoGo Studio(the best go database and pattern finding, awesome interface too) and Drago (a very nice go software which I use a lot to create my kifu databse).

Besides go, I also enjoy many more Japanese cultural entertainment kinds, such as bonsai(is it just supposed only for old men?), haiku, chadou(hum, to be a fine man, you need to know the right way to handle a tea ceremony ( ̄ー+ ̄)), origami(intermediate level, my part-time job is origami card designer by the way), manga&anime(sure, but i am not a fancy fan of HnG)

Speaking of board games, I also play chess(ELO:920, as far as the Chessmaster:The art of learning 2008 version's rank is correct(≧∇≦)), shougi(12kyu, yep, beginner), chinese chess(totally a noob!), gomoku(pretty good) and reversi.

At the moment, I am the senior and technical administrator of the official website of Vietnamese Go Community (or in short vncovay) at:
