Introductions, perhaps in order.

Post by foe »

Since this sub exists, I guess I should post here.

I'm foe, and first learned of the game in this past June. I play in the Yunguseng Dojang league on KGS at about 10k, and weekly at the local club. I would love to improve towards at least 1 dan, but at my age have no delusions of easy progression. Lots of study and playing in my future.

Uhm. I was born in 1957 and I’m not even commenting in this thread :mrgreen:

Cordially nevertheless ;-) Tom


<edit>

But if I non-comment I should at least welcome you here, foe :-)

Welcome!

I am still working out the mathematical formula of Rank = Age x work issues divided by hours slept - to do list, etc..... I know the answer is there....

Have fun!

We play because we enjoy the beauty of the game, the snap and feel of real stones, and meeting interesting people. Hope to see ya there! お願いします!
