It started a year ago when my youngest son was born. A friend of the family gave me a copy of Shoen Jump to pass the time. For the most part it was swords and skirts; one story though caught my interest. Hikaru No Go is the story of a young kid who comes to have the ghost of a one time Go master live in his head. The ghost guides the kid into playing Go and the kid in turn gets hooked.

Which in turn gets me hooked on Go. Sure, I have played Go a few times in my life but this is a more studied affair.

You can find me on the IGS servers getting schooled by anyone 22kyu and above.

Aside from learning the games depth , more so than I do now at least, I have got it in my head I need to build a good goban of my own.
