Tannguyen8
Hi everyone, I'm a 14 year old go player name Tan Nguyen. I currently play with the rank of 16k, but I will try my best and become stronger. I'm currently is a member of Ninja Tesuji Clan. I live in California and don't know much of English so forgive me if I spell something wrong. I used not to have a goal to play go, but now i have, my goal http://www.kingrpg.net is to reach pro level at age of 18. I will try my best and study hard to achieve this goal. And if you are a KGS user, come to Full Moon Castle under social, the main thing about this room is to train each other from ddk to sdk, and from sdk to dan level. And last thing, have fun when you play go.

How Do I Know Go
I know go when i was about 10, but I haven't play until February 9 2008, after watching Hikaru No Go. You can find me on both KGS and wBaduk as tannguyen8.
My Style
This is my favorite opening moves, -
is a joseki that i usualy play, and f3, as
, for I believe, is use the help lessen white influence on the bottom. My style is to take as much as influence as possible during the opening moves, then use it these influence to help me make territory to. I kind of also good in making invasion and stole influence and territory from my opponent, but I fail most of the time, so I will try and get better at that. During a game, I try to stay out of a big fight, that why in my game, there are no big group like 10 or more stones that are dead, unless that group is mine and I'm too weak to save it. When I attack a group, I have no intention of killing them, because it is almost impossible, this is what i learn from reading Attack and Defense by James Davies, so I don't bother study eye stealing tesuji, my main goal is to steal some of my opponent influence and territory. I am not a fan of the san san invasion because my teachers have taught me that the san san invasion is only help my opponent, even though I got the corner, so I don't play any san san invasion unless it is a good timing, like after i have make an enclosure on a 4-4 stone. I also try not to give my opponent too much wall like i do in my old games.
