Hi, I live in York! Lovely place but I haven't met up with any Go players here yet. The Leeds scene is a bit better I heard, but again I haven't gotten around to going (I work in Leeds).

Cool! So I'll be there one of the first two weeks in January, and I'll try and get to the go club. It'd be ...

Well, to be honest I haven't played much in a long time, around 2 years, but having a face-to-face club would be nice. I also thought that it would be a way of meeting some locals, and if anyone I know from L19 was there, that would be interesting.

I'm a bookaholic too. However, having more or less stopped playing go, and realizing that these books weren't helping me get better, I decided to sell off most of my collection. (You can see what's left in a thread in the Trading Post forum.) I did keep a core set of books, though, if I decide to ...

I would say the Graded Go Problems for Dan Players, definitely, and, perhaps, the Dictionary of Modern Fuseki, The Korean Style, the Dictionary of Basic Fuseki, and the 21st Century New Openings, Volume 1 & 2 (if you're interested in fuseki studies).
