Benjamin Teuber
Hi!
I'm 28 years old and I study informatics (and theoretical physics) in Hamburg. Right now I call myself 6-Dan with an EGF Rating (May 2007) of 2574. On KGS, I play as Ahamay - My ICQ-Number can be found in my info there. But who uses the commercial, adful ICQ anyways? Try to Jabber me instead using benjamin.teuber@jabber.org.
I was born in Heidelberg, but I spent most of my life until now in Bremen, where I started to learn Go from Jochen Fassbender when I was 12. I think his good way to teach and motivate me was a big reason that people believe I would be "strong".
The other reason are my studies in Japan: As a student of the late Hans Pietsch(6p) and his teacher Kobayashi Chizu(5p), I went in Tokyo several times for study, staying there about a month each time. In autumn of 2003, I even became Insei there for the short period of 3 months
This year's summer, I went to korea to study in a korean baduk school for one month together with Hwan Kuk Kang.
The 2011 Amsterdam International Go Tournament was won by Benjamin Teuber who didn’t lose any of his games.
