I missed both the European and US Go Congresses this year - I blame the vacation for that.
With only 2 rounds to go, the European Go Congress is dominated by Korean players.
The European Masters was dominated by Russian players: Alexandre Dinerchtein won, and Ilya Shiksin came out second.
Tomorrow (Saturday, July 28th) starts the US Go Congress.
I hope to plan my next year’s vacation(s) in a more Go-friendly manner…
The 28th WAGC started in Japan earlier today.
This is a very exciting annual event - it’s more of a competition between countries, rather than an individual tournament, since each country is sending one (amateur) representative.
This year there are representatives from 68 countries.
I am going to write my thoughts on this tournament, which is going to run for 3 more days (there are 8 rounds, 2 per day).
My name is Sorin Gherman. I studied Go as an insei in Japan, and I built 361points.com to share my Go experience with you.
