Tealeaf
I'm a Go player from York in the UK. I recently completed my PhD in computer science at the University here, looking into private and anonymous communications. I founded the University of York Go Society, and also set up a town club that meets every Wednesday night from 7.15 at El Piano.
I studied Chinese at evening classes here at the University, and I'm very interested in China and Chinese culture. My Chinese is probably at the point now where I'd call it "not bad", but I'm hardly fluent. I've contributed here to the China Weiqi League page, and I'm usually keen to learn and teach a little bit more about the Chinese aspects of the game.
I play on OGS with the username "tealeaf" and also play on KGS with username "tealeaf". I can occasionally be found in the GoDiscussions.com social room, and sometimes in the Go Center of Second Life as "Tealeaf Zhao".
I'm a member of CouchSurfing, where I'm the founder of the Go group (with a massive four members). If anyone is visiting Yorkshire and wants somewhere to stay and play Go, make a request from my
profile. I'd also love to hear from anyone else who uses
CouchSurfing.
I am also now on the council of the British Go Association, where I am chair of the Internet committee. The reason for me being on the council is to attempt to make the BGA more relevant to Internet Go, rather than just as a vehicle for real-life tournaments. As such, I'm open to any suggestions that people might have!
