that’s IRL/internet pictures but i guess it’s fine 
We made an internet firendly competition between Grenoble and Suzhou which should lead to good exchanges ^^
kids played each others in a 5 vs 5 competition
here are some pictures

I had some wine, dug out the goban & stones, and played a centaur Go game (me and Katago vs GnuGo)
Once it was done, I was walking around and the light from the lamp shining over the goban reminded me of sunset on a beach
As the Fresno Go Club brings our first year as an AGA chapter to a close on the eve of Lunar New Year, we had our best outing thus far with about 30 people in attendance over three hours, including a significant number of first timers. Our local library is proving to be an ideal partner, advertising our events on their calendar and email announcements. We get about six new people each time through this system, and the library has just accepted my go book collection into their system so that people in the central part of California (about 3 million people from Bakersfield to Merced) can request our books for checkout from their local library. I have also donated a handful of go sets so that new players can check out equipment to learn the game as we have now run out of bingo chip/tiddlywink stones and laser cut boards to give away. The future of go in our community is looking bright!
I agree with the point also that’s why our young generation is weakening day by day due to no physical activities.
You mean light plastic stones are more and more used instead of shell or glass?
There is a very interesting cut in the lower left corner
Oh wow of course! We had basically called that a seki and left it as-is, but black could have definitely done something there
Yep that’s big because it can change the seki into a black territory. Not sure it will give victory to black, hard to count, but that would make the game much closer at least.
Anyway that’s a sweet gift, i hope it will bring good luck and happyness in your relationship.
My then-girlfriend and I played some games at a beautiful botanical garden, and I asked her to marry me a bit after this! I only took this photo of the board in the middle of a game and she took one before at some point.
Nothing special or exciting about the play, but I’ll never forget the games for obvious reasons!
Nice 13x13 btw.
Heartwarming story, thanks! And yeah, cool gear.
But I’m only replying to say that my OCD 
would have forced me to rotate the board 90° so that the grain of the wood would run from one player to the other, not crossing or “separating” them.
Ha! I hadn’t even considered that and now I can’t unsee it! I’ll probably be squaring it up that way for the rest of my life now haha
Today almost 40 children came to play go during lunch time, about twice the regular number that come to play on Fridays. I even had to disappoint a few, because there wasn’t enough playing equipment for all of them.
Perhaps this unusual influx of players had to do with the weather. It may have been a bit too rainy for soccer.
I participated in the Utrecht go tournament this weekend. I won 3 out 5 games, winning against a 1k and two 3d players, while losing against a 4d and a 5d. I ended at 5th place. I’m quite happy with those results.
They used Fischer time with 45 minutes basic time and 15s increment. First time for me in an IRL tournament to play with Fischer time. I liked it a lot actually. Much better than byoyomi.
They also had a little evening event with BBQ.
I assume one of your losses was against a player with more than 442 tournaments under his belt. Feels excusable.
Indeed, I lost by 5.5 points to Rudi Verhagen 
.
Over the years we’ve played 22 tournament games, of which I won 27%.
In the picture he is waiting for me at board 3.
