Re: Gold Cup World Amateur Go Tournament
I think the world amateur qualifier for Japan was a couple days ago. I imagine that would be a big conflict for many of them.Uberdude wrote:Japanese players were able to enter the world group, which had 4 places. I don't know if any did (I think the tournament table may be online somwhere as Andrii played in it and referenced results, but I don't know where), but Taiwanese players got all 4 there. (I thought maybe Victor Chow from South Africa would be here).

Re: Gold Cup World Amateur Go Tournament
According to a Chinese report,
1) The reason that Japanese didn't join this tournament is probably because they are against the idea of amateur tournaments with high prizes.
2) The Korean players decided to donate part of their prizes to Xiamen for the typhoon damages.
3) Hu Yuqing, one of the top Chinese amateur players who didn't pass the online preliminary, suggested that there might be some cheaters during the online preliminary for Chinese players.

That may have had something to do with it as well.

Re: Gold Cup World Amateur Go Tournament
Just a little update: watching Haylee's latest video I recognised Song Hongsuk 7d in the line up of the Pair Go World Cup, turns out he won the WAGC in 2010! Hard to recognise from his SL photo (http://senseis.xmp.net/?SongHongSuk) but it's definitely him in http://www.pairgo.or.jp/pgwc/2016/players/index_e.htm and http://www.lifein19x19.com/forum/viewto ... 17#p209917.
