Life In 19x19

Does anyone have any news about this? Apparently it will be in September in Seoul, but we haven't received the official invitation yet.

Is anyone from here going?

I found this page: http://www.kbaduk.or.kr/tournament/schedule.asp

Could someone who reads Korean tell me what this entry for September 17-23 reads?

09월 | 제10회 국무총리배 세계아마바둑선수권대회(KPMC) | 17~23일 | 대한바둑협회

Seems to be the KPMC?

Translation is pretty close, but I'd adjust it slightly:

September | 10th Prime Minister Cup World Amateur Baduk Championship (KMPC) | 17th~23rd (Days of the month, not time) | Korean Amateur Baduk Association

And the headings at the top of the chart indicate:
Month | Tournament Name | Date/Days | Host/Sponsor/Supervisor

Note that the Korean Amateur Baduk Association is not exactly the same as the Hanguk Kiwon. (Website: http://www.kbaduk.or.kr)

Ah, yes. The tournament where amateurs travel from all over the world to play blitz.

Has anyone heard any more news about this? We still haven't received the official invitation in Ireland. It's getting quite close to the tournament for making all the arrangements...

We haven't received any news either. I'm starting to think about going to the TIG in Cuba instead.

Yes, but it's quite fun to participate actually.

I've heard that it was announced at the EGC that it would be held in November in Seoul.

It's on the 22 to 27 of November.
Who's going?

I'll be there. Looking forward to it. Only two matches a day this time round.

I'm going! Looking forward to meeting old and new friends there!

After four rounds, three players on four wins: China, Korea, USA. Tomorrow is it China vs Korea (not sure who USA is playing against, an Asian country, but not sure which one). Some of the players hree wins: Romania, Taipei, Japan, Finland, Hungary, Sweden, Belgium, France, Ukraine. Canada and Russsia only on two wins.

After five rounds, USA and China are undefeated, and will play off for the title. China beat Korea, and USA beat Hong Kong. Some of the (many) countries on four wins: Romania, Korea, Japan, Finland.
