Life In 19x19

A long time ago I took lessons with Kang U Min, amateur 6d from Korea, also known as Minue on KGS. Later he left the go scene, at least for active teaching. He had been very generous with all sorts of middle game exercises and answers, or opening questions in modern go. Unfortunately one day my computer crashed and I lost all of it. Today I would be happy to have them back. Has anyone out there studied with Minue as well and would you mind sharing your material from those days (with me)? Min himself is very difficult to approach, at some point I even thought something had happened to him, because before he had been very talkative, also about other subjects such as politics and math.

Thanks

Hey knothing

I am also in a similar situation, I think I remember you as well. I have one email I salvaged back from those days with exercises he sent me, would be happy to share with you. I'll check the PMs here, and will PM you.

Cya!

Can't help you with your immediate problem.

But now do you understand why you have to make periodic backups to a different device? Ssay external USB drives, one copy kept at a different site (I had backups, but heat and smoke of a house fire made most of them unusable).

You don't need a nightly backup like a business might. But perhaps a monthly backup of your frequently changing data. Keep several cycles, and keep the YE one forever, though at today's prices per TByte, little need to delete any till you run out of space.

What operating system? Windows? You still have the disk? A long shot, but data recovery is possible since the files *may* still be on the disk, just not accessible without specialist software. Of course if you reformatted and re-installed then all hope is lost. Otherwise, PM me.
