Once upon a time, a very long time ago, I learned to play go. I taught myself and I didn't have any good opponents. When I went to college, I played a bit more and found other people who played. After college, life happened, and go went on the backburner. Moved between continents a few times, had seven kids, had a busy job, no way I could fit go into that.
Things did calm down, and I rediscovered go in December 2005. I found on line go servers (KGS) and realized there are people out there to play, every single moment of the day and night.
I got addicted. Majorly so. Now I play go as much as I can, spending any free moment playing or studying. I even have
a go blog to entertain myself, blabbering about go. I am still very weak, and the more I play, the weaker I seem to get. Funny how that works.
