Re: Mainstream Go Sightings

It seems the Finnish Nobel prize winner Bengt Holmström (Economic Sciences) had a go board too. Never seen him in the local clubs though.

These photos are fresh from the Nobel Prize Museum:

Re: WAGC

I saw recently that the WAGC is starting soon, but my googling (altavisting for old people) powers must be failing me, because I cannot find its website.
Can anyone help me out with a link?

Re: The Pandanet Go European Team Championship - Season 13

I wonder if anyone here could help us to connect to Portuguese Go Association. It seems their go-portugal.org address and eurogofed.org email gateway is down and we'd really like to have them in the PGETC too...

Re: Japanese Title and League scene

Oh no! Haha, you're right! The next games are coming up soon. So who are we relying on to save us from another IchiYama match? ... It's Kyo Kagen. He's my only hope but I am not confident. Wait, if Takao beats Murakawa maybe there will be a play off for 2nd of S league. Maybe Takao is Iyama's bane ...

Re: Mainstream Go Sightings

I'm not sure if this is the right thread but the news of the Prime Minister of Japan reminds me about the 25th Pair Go Event 2014 top speaker.

Re: Use of GoGod database

Perhaps GoWrite is an option too. My favourite Go editor/pattern search software.
