Many thanks The internet is my first port if call for any info nowadays Been lurking and reading posts for about a week and now I want to join in!!!! I've just downloaded the 2 volumes of "River Mountain Go"- FANTASTIC free resource. I also play a colleague from work on IGS- normally 2 games a night at 9 x 9. It's all good stuff. Just wish I had found Go sooner- I'm 44 years old. Kind regards, Ian |

Thanks I'm starting my own full time business next year- so I definitely don't consider age a barrier to trying new pursuits! REALLY enjoying the game of Go so far. Mixing my time between playing and reading (River Mountain Go). I used to play online poker for 2 years- so I appreciate the discipline of balancing the playing with the studying. Regards, Ian |

A new business, excellent! What are you doing or is it under wraps? GO is great because it can be enjoyed on so many levels. 40 is the new 20, so go for dan level. |

Thanks Tony, I'm an architect by training- my business is focused on the emerging global trend of "Building Information Modelling" or BIM for short. It's a totally new way of working for many design practices / facility managers, etc. Anybody that uses Autodesk Revit will know what I'm on about Regards, Ian |

OGS' web interface works well, though. (I also started playing this year at 38 and live in the UK - let me know if you'd like to play online? I'm not strong, but I'm at least friendly  )
