That was around my peak, when I could battle a 4d KGS player with a flame's chance in space of winning (that is to say: slim to none).
I don't have a lot of time for real-time games. (Working, travelling, social activities, writing, saving the world, you know how it goes.) A non-real-time game would be ideal.
Also, if any go players in CA are interested, next years US Go Congress will be in Santa Barbara, 1st week in August!
