My name is Shin, I have started playing Go online since 22nd of October 2013. I have learned the game of Go under the guidance of my late grandfather through teaching games. My hobbies are tennis, soccer, cycling, hiking/rock climbing, swimming, drawing, and graphic designing and later on Go online became my usual place to hang out on.

During the time since I started playing until now, I have come across many good players who are ready to teach any other lower kyu players like myself. I love the game of Go because it’s fun, interesting and I get the chance to meet other players online from lower kyu to dans. Every time a player ranks up it gets harder and harder, but nonetheless, it’s fun. I love hardships and being challenged, but there are times that a person’s brain won’t work even if he/she try-hard.

I work as a programmer in a private company. I’m a graduate of a Master’s degree in Information Technology. So far work takes most of my time lately, and I have less time to play Go online. Even though I’m busy I still get the time to hang out online even just to chat that’s where I got the nicks of “Chatomi” for being chatty either in the main chat or the game chat.
