Hey you guys!

My name is Katharsys. I've been into Go since I was about 14 (22 now). I have taken quite a long hiatus from Go just because my life became very hectic the time I got out of high school and I was always so nervous to play the game (I'm sure that some of you can relate), but I have always maintained my studies by doing problems every week and reading my Go books. Now that life has settled down (well, IS settling down) I certainly need to start back up again so I have something positive to focus on. I estimate my strength at around 13k, but time will tell my true rank once I start playing on KGS and OGS (or is IGS better?). By joining this website, I am hoping to track my progress in a Go journal (both physical and online) so that I can keep what little positive energy I have left in me alive.


Happy playing!

Katharsys

Hi Kath, welcome. Arsys is an unusual name. Is it a local Utah name?

BTW, is there another Utah somewhere?

Seems about right.

Welcome to the forums, Katharsys.

I don't think anything can get by you EdLee. :mrgreen:


Never thought being located in Utah was so...far-fetched. :lol:
