The Fresno Go Club gifted the SF Go Club some laser-cut felt bowl liners and lid coasters to help cut down on noise, as well as some regular drink coasters, two dozen sets and over a hundred coasters. We also gave the Berkeley Go Club about half as much, since Linden was in attendance. These are prototypes for a possible future business, so I will be curious to get feedback from everyone on how they are working out…

It was the official opening of the club at that location and the Spring Tournament as well! The AGA did an article about it yesterday, I think.

There’s a tweet where Kono Rin 9dan (past Japanese title holder) shares his personal album of 1912 original tsumego. These are beyond my level but I’m always happy to see stones on wood.

(by the way, the algorithm that OGS uses to automatically populate information from hyperlinks is amazing)

For the uninitiated who don’t know how to navigate twitter, is there a more user-friendly option to find those tsumego?

Me and the wife on vacation away from the kids. She’s reading about reality show women and I’m reading tsumego in Monthly Go World (月刊 碁 ワールド). Thanks to the grandparents!

Ichiriki Ryo on the cover. Congratulations to him on winning the Kisei title.

Children playing go during lunch break is taking off again here:

Not quite enough interest yet to restart the after-school go club (I set the threshold at 10 registrations), but I hope to get there soon.

I have to get used to this way of playing a tournament. Well at least they have enough space for their cup of tea.
