Edit: it already started but you can still register
Has anyone signed up for anything? I’d love to watch you play.
I signed up for all go.
Hum how to say? First thanks to relay the information.
Now a private company organizing the “Olympiad” sounds a bit weird to me, even if (this time only?) It’s all free.
World running at reverse, private doing the job of association who organize their online meeting almost costless for them but you need to take your membership and it’s not that cheap.
Well my feeling if you ask so.
Oh, shogi, nice.
Unfortunately weekdays are not suitable.
Definitely.
Also forgot about this thread, so now I’m looking up vods of some of the games.
