it’s not really a “go event” but I always bring my go peripherals when I go to an anime convention, and I’m going to anime USA in DC this month. if anyone else is going, I’d be happy to play some games of go in person. it’d be the first time I’ve done so in years. XD
Maybe, if I can convince Kuroneko-sensei or some of the other kitties to attend, we can fit some games in between our general mischief-making.
if I do manage to find players or do anything go related, I’ll take and share pics here, though!
We learned a lot during conferences then a game between In Seong and Crazystone took place (in my appartment actually xp)
They played on KGS and we retransmitted it in OGS : https://online-go.com/review/81908
Shicho group is a group dedicated to the renewal of Go in Japan. In February 2015 five young people of the group played against five members of the “West League” of France. With the help of Kevin Cuello, who organized the event in February, the Shicho group asked for another exchange.This time ten people from the group will play ten young members of the Grenoble Go Club, which is putting more and more effort into developing Go among kids and teenagers. http://grenoble.jeudego.org/tournois/rencontre-ogs-shisho-grenoble/ (in french)
Result : 6-4 in favour of Grenoble - you can find games on the Grenoble website
