I was just shy of <I>shodan </i>status when I moved to California and got out of the habit of playing regularly, so my competence has probably dwindled... We'll have to see about a match sometime.

So when I played Go more regularly, I always tried to find an opponent on a Go server at least. I played Chess in a club and some tournaments for several years, but Go suits my intuitive personality much better. It is also beautifully designed (which is why, unlike with Chess, the digital board is generally made to resemble the real board as close as possible). I have a Goban at home in Germany, but hadn't found anyone to really play it with so far (internet works fairly well, but can feel a bit cold and lacks the tactile sensation). I heard that c-base in Berlin near the Openismus office has regular Go meetings, so I might give this a try when I move there. I really dislike playing the computer, it just doesn’t work for me.
