In 1998 a coworker was playing online after work and I was working late. I went over to talk and saw him play. So I started to ask questions about the game and he described and I was intrigued. Later he taught me the rules and how to play on a 9x9 board. Then he gave me a copy of igowin.exe and I played thousands of games on 9x9 and learned the hard way by trial and error. With Gnu Go I learned to handle a 19x19 board. Later I found NNGS and was able to play against humans. In 2003 I found my first tournament as 15 kyu and I was hooked. Since then I've been playing a couple of tournaments each year.

Yes I am from the future. Thankfully I didn't use a Hot Tub Time Machine to get here. There are now about 20 billion humans living on earth, mostly in underground cities. Although world peace still does not exist, wars are now fought by robots under command of human generals.

They still cannot defeat the best human Go players.

I'm here purely to observe so I can't give you any lottery numbers. Good luck though!
