Replacement for Topazg

Post by Joaz Banbeck »

As you probably have heard, Topazg is taking a sabatical. So we need a replacement.

Back when we had moderator elections ( http://www.lifein19x19.com/forum/viewto ... f=9&t=2957 ) the person in fifth place for four spots was EdLee. So we promoted Ed to fill the vacancy.

Yeah, thanks for stepping up, Ed.

I met Ed recently at Congress. It was fun, though he confided that he had the impression that I was significantly younger than I turned out to be. Maybe that's a side-effect of choosing dinosaur pictures. =)

I figure, his assumption about me was only fair, as I used to have one about him. For the longest time, I had the impression that he was a 3-5d, and I always went out of my way to go through his game reviews. The "Broken shape for W" comments opened my eyes a lot, and helped me improve.
Someday I want to be strong enough to earn KGS[-].

I've always been fond of how helpful, patient and easy to understand EdLee is.

Definitely a good choice.
