Sorry for timing out in lots of games recently… :( I didn’t notice my vacation time ran out and had a lot of tournament games starting that I didn’t expect.

Other fun facts: my terrible moves and I will be representing Norway in the Word Amateur Go Championship, let me know if you’re also going!

Hello there my future friend!

~1d Norway. come play at the Oslo Go Club!

i apologize in advance for my play style…

i like risky/tactical games. i don’t like standardized patterns and will try to complicate when i can. if there is a weak group on the board, then i will try to kill it, just like playing out a ladder that doesn’t work. (goes for my own groups too, though.) if there are no weak groups, i’ll try to make an unreasonable framework to force you to invade and make a weak group.

how to counter and make me feel bad: play solidly and calmly i will just fall apart because i can’t deal with it. (that, or kill me/have me kill myself.) i have zero positional judgment and am generally just a one-trick pony and terrible player in all aspects of go (except possibly mud wrestling).

i love talking about the games as they progress, so feel free to ask me what i’m thinking, of course i will answer! i don’t care if it’s ranked or not. i just like talking about go.

feel free to challenge me to teaching games, experimental stuff, or just anything.

(lately i’m experimenting with playing hyper-territorial play in some games just to see how it goes.)
