  • Go career: I started playing when I was at Cambridge University, over 20 years ago, and of course once you have started playing a game as good as Go, you never stop. I now work as a computer programmer at the Open University (http://www.open.ac.uk) doing development on Moodle (https://moodle.org).

  • Go career: I took up go at university and spent a number of years playing as many tournaments as I could until I reached 3 dan. Then real life set in and my growing family meant go took a back seat for a number of years and my playing strength declined accordingly. Now I am enjoying playing go again.
