Nick Sibicky? Is that his real name? It sound like a play on Icki Jibicki.

He is also a member of the AGA (you can search for his name under the ratings page).

He's a member of the Seattle Go Center, and most of his videos are recordings of the lectures he gives there once a week. I met him while I was there over the summer but never got to play him.

DrStraw, this gives deeper insight into your personality than you may have wished.

DrStraw, I apologize, apparently “Icki Jibicki” is a reference I did not get, and so I had a wrong impression and jumped the gun, I’m sorry.

And thank you, Boidhre, for clearing up things.

Tom

I don't understand. Attempting to emulate Iki Jibicki would be the ultimate in praise for someone who was a great loss to the AGA.

Many outside (and probably within) the AGA wouldn't get the Iki Jibicki reference and think you were just making fun of someone's name, to be fair.

Then they need educating. That was the last thing on my mind. I genuinely thought that he might be paying a tribute to Bob High.

Thank you, Boidhre, apparently this is the case with me (living in Germany), and …

Please accept my apology, DrStraw, I got the wrong impression and jumped the gun on this, I’m sorry.

(And I still have no idea who that may be.)

p.s.: edited my earlier comment to reflect what I learnt.

Apology accepted.

(Oh, and learnt is the past participle. The past tense is learned.)

Thank you.

Thank you, bookmarked, that’s an amazing source for … procrastination

Oh, I LOVE that! Bad puns PLUS Science Fiction PLUS Go—what more could I wish for?

Well, I learnt my childhood English in Kerala, South India, in the beginning 1960’s … mostly Indian English and British English, some US English (and I still love code switching), and AFAIK “learnt” is a legitimate variant for the past tense of “to learn”:

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/learnt



BTW I also ask “whom?” and still shudder a bit when I listen to “Who Do You Love” by The Doors though I love them and their music.

BTW #2: Could “Iki Jibiki” be a reference to Waka Jawaka?



Greetings, Tom
