I was introduced to go by my mother, a descendant of professional go players: Guo Bailing (1587-1662?) from the Ming dynasty and Guo Xuchu (1903-1992). The board game weiqi originated in China, but it is commonly known as go since it was popularized to the western world by Japan (igo in Japanese). For a long time, most English go readers only had access to translated Japanese books. I wanted to fill in some of the vacuum regarding ancient Chinese books. I started with the works of Guo Bailing in 2013 and then moved on to other classics.

I am a mid-dan amateur player and participate in local tournaments.
