Hi, Dieter. Thanks for the vote of confidence. :)

I am happy that L19 mentoring is happening. But as for myself, I am unable to make any new commitments in the foreseeable future. I expect to continue commenting on L19 games on a haphazard basis. :)

I've decided that I would really like to take on a student of Go. Firstly because of the saying "it is learned through teaching" but also because I just love to teach. I'm a new SDK so anyone in the DDK range will work but preferably someone in the 18 kyu or lower range. Let me know if you'd be interested in working together or if you know someone who might be. Also, I had the opportunity to work with Daal as my mentor and feel that some very good things came as a result. Our schedules, however, were not very compatible and we discontinued our studies together. This being said, I would also love to find another mentor to work with by playing teaching games and offering games for extensive review. If anyone feels that they would enjoy this opportunity as well, please contact me and know that you will not be obligated to do more than you're available for.
