An interview with Andy Liu (bigbadwolf) - answers Legendary "bigbadwolf" from KGS agreed to answer questions of GoSensations.com readers. He is Andy Liu, AGA 9-dan, KGS 9-dan, one of the best players of USA, who crushed lot of professionals before. Starting from September,2011 he is an Insei League teacher. Q.You have beaten many pro players, have you ever thought about becoming a professional player? A. Thought, yes, aspired, no. Q.What is the most memorable game for you? A. I attended a go school in Beijing during the summer of HS freshman year. My former Go teacher was close friends with Chang Hao, and kindly arranged for me a 2-stone teaching game at Chang Hao's apartment. Q. Who won that game? A. I lost it Q.How did you achieve the rank of KGS and AGA 9d? Did you just play and over the years achieve that rank, or did you study somewhere else? A. I studied under different teachers during different times, but playing helps the most. Q.Do you have any advice for players who wish to achieve a rank as strong as yours? A. Sorry, no Q.Bigbadwolf has not been active in R games for some time now. Will you be playing rated games again soon or are you using other aliases? A. I cannot tell you my anonymous alia(s) Q.What do you think about the idea of creating professional leagues in USA and Europe? A. Naturally, I would like to see professional leagues, but is it worth creating a league for less than 10 professionals? Q.How do you think, who is currently the strongest one in USA? A. I am not sure Q.What do you think about the rules of selection US players for international events? A. The selection process is quite fair I think Q.You started to teach inseis in the Korean-style league on KGS. What do you think about this project? A. The insei league is I believe the most successful teaching project on KGS, and possibly better than most American and European baduk academies Q.We know that you like to play on Tygem. Do you have any favorite Tygem players? A. I do not. Q.You will represent USA team on SportAccord tournament in China. What do you think about the chances of your team? What is your prediction of USA vs Europe match result? A. I am quite familiar with the strengths of all the American and European representatives, and I believe USA has a slightly better chance. Against CKJT, I only hope that we may win a single game.
