Hyperpapeterie

PageType: HomePage    

I used to live in Chapel Hill and play in the UNC-Chapel Hill Go Club and Triangle Go Club. I'm now in Pittsburgh, playing at the Pittsburgh Go Association. I first played a handful games online early in this century. I probably found it because I was into chess (which I was terrible at). When I got to college, I reunited with a childhood friend who played, so we played a few times a month. Our games inevitably started with a hoshi stone and an immediate cross-cut fight, and neither of us had heard to Crosscut then extend. After a few months I finally won a game, as I had vaguely heard of how to 'tenuki.'

For some reason, I became quite interested in playing at the beginning of July 2005, and played regularly for several months. In September, I played in a tournament and made 20k. In October 2007, I started this page and was 3 kyu on KGS and 5 kyu Aga. Since then it seems that I've stagnated--I hit 2kyu on KGS for awhile, but subsequently dropped back down.

Mostly I update player and event pages, both for professionals and strong western amateurs. I used to update the Go News page, until someone started reliably beating me to the punch.

Putting the nihon kiin page here because I never remember the URL [ext] http://www.nihonkiin.or.jp/index-e.htm

I know I'm the millionth person in the world to do this, but I wrote my own [ext] guide to learning Go and posted it on my blog. It's not actually a strategy guide, or the rules, just links to resources that beginners might find useful. Feel free to give me advice on improving it, since I'm no expert. And yes, I'm aware that the current wordpress theme makes the page look like garbage. I'm even more unhappy about it than you are.

Adding professional tournaments, one source: [ext] http://www.msoworld.com/mindzine/news/orient/go/japan/chikurin.html.
