I agree that if we want to end up with a serious professional presence or organization, we need to start somewhere, and it won't look glamorous at the beginning. I guess I find it hard to take the professional tournaments here seriously, though, as I haven't noticed much in way of professional activity by them apart from the kadoban series with Lee Sedol.


I agree. It would be nice to have more AGA pro activities.

From what i hear on the grapevine, there's interest on both sides of the pond for an AGA/EGF pro face-off. Not sure if anything will come of it yet, but let's hope :)

It is such an obvious idea for an event, it only needs a sponsor.

Hey, speaking of Western professionals, Andy Liu is doing well in the Sankei preliminaries. http://www.usgo.org/news/2015/10/andy-l ... day-night/

Edit: added preliminaries.

What is the Sankei? Is it a big deal?

Not that I know of, and I have no idea how strong his opponents were--they either don't have data on goratings or there's a different transliteration used.

We're past the point where it's a surprise to have a win against any Asian professional, but winning two in a row against any professional is still a bit better result than usual.

The Sankei tournament is a Kansai Ki-in affair. It's an open tournament and amateurs are allowed to enter. Some famous pros have won it in the past, see http://senseis.xmp.net/?SankeiProAma

There are actually two separate events: one friendly Go exchange between Kansai Kiin and western players; the other the Sankei Cup. Last year there was similar arrangement, only the two western players are European. These are fairy small events so they do not entries in Go4Go tournament database. But Go4Go does have a number of game records for last year's event:

The Go Exchange:

http://www.go4go.net/go/games/sgfview/43833

The Sankei Cup:

http://www.go4go.net/go/games/sgfview/43835
http://www.go4go.net/go/games/sgfview/43836

Games from this year will be added soon.

Mateusz Surma and Ali Jabarin also participated in the prelims this year, while Gansheng Shi played in the prelims and the exhibition match. They all lost their games.

You can edit that by yourself. After uploading the image files, there is an option to place them 'inline'. So you don't need to type in the image tag.

I did put them inline, but they're too big so I wanted to hide them, but couldn't figure out how to do it

Hi xed_over,

Keep the Hide tags and attachment tags exactly as they are,
but remove the img tags.

For future reference, you should not see the img tags with this sequence:
- "Choose file" of your image file (button)
- "Add the file" (button)
- "Place inline" (button)
- Add Hide tags around the attachment tags
- "Submit" (button)

ok, cool... that helped. Thanks.
Not very obvious though. maybe we should pin this "How to..." somewhere.

Hi xed_over, You're welcome. I only figured it out by trial-and-error. :)
