I have been playing Go since 2006. I learned to play thanks to many helpful players on the KGS Go Server, and have visited Beijing, China on three Go study trips. I was President of the Cambridge University Go Society in 2007 and 2009. I am grateful to my teachers, including Jeff Chang, Peter Liu, Jack Jin, Ben Hu and Guo Juan.
Some highlights of my Go career:
I have been awarded the amateur grade of 5 dan by the British Go Association. You can view my European rating graph, and my KGS rating graph.
Some years ago, I was quite active in tournaments and recorded all of my games. Here are those records and some other materials, in SGF format, for those interested in such things.
