Hey moriguchi2 My name is Richard Heo from PA. I am currently rated 1041, but that should go up as I've just recently played a new tournament. I don't play quite often in tournaments and I have a bit harder time getting up in rating here in PA as a lot of local players use pips and anti spin and have poor technique so their styles are really deceptive, but I've been rated skill wise in the 1800-2000 level from some 2300-2500 rated coaches and I coach just an hour west of Philadelphia. Any more questions and feel free to ask.
