Personal message
       I started to play Go at age of 5. My father Valery Shikshin works as a Go-teacher. He has many students who showed good results at Russian and European championships. My elder sister Svetlana plays Go for many years. She studied Go in Korea and she is 3-dan professional. So Go is my family game. 
       Mostly I studied Go at home. But I also had several trips to Korea to study Go there. With help of Mr. Chun Poong Jho 9p I trained in Korea for more than 1 year in total. 
       Currently I live in Moscow and work as a sportsman and a vice-president of the Moscow Go Federation.
       I am married and have a daughter.
