Guess Who Won?

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

In the 3rd game of 6th Jeongganjang Cup, Lee Sula 1-dan of Korea played against Aoki Kikuyo 8-dan of Japan.

I don’t know for sure who won since Go Topics hasn’t published the game record yet and I cannot read Korean… but I have my own theory about the result, given the following photos:

Playing Baduk in a Park in Korea

Monday, March 5th, 2007

I found today a blog entry of someone from Busan, South Korea, about people playing Baduk (the Korean for “Go”) in a park.

See one of the pictures below; click on it and you’ll see more, on flickr.com:

It reminds me of parks in Bucharest, Romania where I grew up, except that people there play chess and backgammon, not Go :-)

Now that I think of it, I don’t remember ever seeing people playing Go in parks in Japan…
