The European Women’s Go Championship 2021 took place online from the 4th – 5th September. Dina Burdakova 5d won five games out of six and claimed the champion’s title.

In round four, Dina played against Natalia Kovaleva 5d - last year’s champion. In the September edition of the European Go Journal you will find a commentary on that epic battle.

One might wonder: what is the greatest achievement of Western go players in international tournaments?

Perhaps, Ryan Li beating Chen Yaoye 9p, three-time world champion, in the third MLily Cup in 2017.

We talked with Ryan about that game and his life as a professional go player. Besides, Ryan is a Ph.D. student in atmospheric physics at Yale University and runs the New York Institute of Go - an educational center with around 70 active students.

Want to learn more about Ryan? In the September edition of the European Go Journal, you will find an interview with him.

Have you ever taught newcomers to play go? How about teaching prisoners in jail?

Ilona Crispien from Germany taught a group of prisoners in jail to play go in a traditional way. Later she tried the concept of Yasuda Yasutoshi 9p: Ilona taught them “capture go” (also known as “atari go”) and compared the results of these two approaches.

In the September edition of the European Go Journal you will find an English translation of Ilona’s original German report.

Learn all about Yasuda’s concepts and discoveries in “Go as Communication” book published by BOARD’N’STONES: http://www.boardnstones.com/09-All_Titles-90-BSV90.php

The picture was made for “Go as Communication” book by Camille Lévêque: Yasuda Yasutoshi teaching capture go to children.
