At the same time in several cities of Russia took place competitions on Go. The Russian mining company Polymetal was able to organize a tournament among its employees in different branches of the country. Seventy-nine participants from Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Amursk, Nursultan (Kazakhstan), Yekaterinburg, St. Petersburg, Magadan, Yakutsk, Petrozavodsk competed in the Go match.

I wouldn’t trust what’s written there completely but here’s what it says. Tournament final is going to be held in real life between top 7 players from our tournament here plus seeded CEO. But the runner-up tournament it says it’s going to be on OGS again! So let’s wait December 26th.
Next tournament will be held on March 28th.
Excellent! Russia has a long, proud Chess history. So GO should be a natural fit! It seems there is growing interest in GO in Russia! Glad to see any assistance we could give!
That’s cool.
