Go (Weiqi, Baduk, Igo, Goe) is an abstract strategy board game for two players in which the aim is to surround more territory than the opponent. The game was invented in China more than 4,500 years ago and is believed to be the oldest board game continuously played to the present day.
I love playing Go in my spare time and was ranked top 1 in the U.K. in 2020. Beyond being a personal passion, Go has shaped my interest in strategic interaction and decision-making. The game requires players to anticipate their opponents' actions, evaluate trade-offs, and adapt their strategies as the game unfolds—ideas that closely relate to my academic interests in game theory and behavioural economics.
I won the championships of Wessex and Guy Fakwkes in 2019, the Oxford tournament in 2020, the Edinburgh Open in 2022, the Cambridge Trigantius and Wessex in 2024. I am also currently the 2026 British champion.
