I became fascinated by Go after reading Shibumi by Trevanian in the mid to late 80’s. I got my first Go set sometime in the 90’s but could never get anyone to play with me, so I learned the rules and that was about it. Finally, after about 25 years of telling myself I’d start playing again, I joined this site in August 2014. I assume at some point I’ll know what I’m doing.

P.S. If you’re reading this after checking out something I may have written in the forums - I ask stupid questions from time to time, but sometimes you just have to know a thing…

If you’ve been watching a game I’ve played and you want to point out my mistakes, you will earn my thanks. Sorry they don’t have any bargaining value :)
