Did they get his killers for good or are they still running around somewhere in South America?

If they are still free, then I would love them to somehow learn about go and start playing it with much love and ambition. Then one day while reading go sensei they would stumble upon the page with Hans and after some reading they would figure out that it was them who did it.

Killing someone over nothing + falling in love with go afterwards not knowing that you killed a great player.

That should be a good karma.

They are missing. Someone with "raider" life isn't eternal, if possible that they are death or in some jail.

When it happened, authorities accuse a Edgardo Cáceres (he was a president of guatemalan association of go, I don't know if he is today) because he was with Nagahara Yoshiaki and Hans and he is a guatemalan and they leave a rute to see Amatitlan lake.


Guatemala is Center America :grumpy: , when I visit, my friends and me wanted a discount in one "museum" because we arrived from México and they only make a discount a center american people... we finish without discount :tmbdown:

I took some time to go over this game today (aside from the discussion concerning the passing of Hans) and this is a very interesting game to study, I learned quite a lot from it.
