WAGC (World Amateur Go Championship) archive

Newly created WAGC archive is available at https://wagc.go.art.pl/

It contains all tables, individual and country stats, and over 1800 game records.

Similar archive about KPMC (Korea Prime Minister Cup) is at https://kpmc.go.art.pl/ (without game records for now, I will start adding them later)

If you have games from WAGC (sgf, screen of kifu, any source/format) that I am missing, please contact me.

The IGA has a couple of books from the 1st, 2nd, 12th, 14th WAGC’s and I think someone gave me one from the 6th WAGC also.

I assume the game records came out of those anyway probably or other related sources?

With editions 1979-1995 it’s mostly from go world/ranka yearbook. Later years mostly online sources (nihon kiin, go servers where games were transmitted, etc)

I have WAGC book from 1989 (11th) and I’m slowly adding games from it.(there is a lot of them)

I will take any screens from these books (like from 6th wagc) if you have time to make them.

I have access to these ones as well.

But I’ll have a look through the 6th one for game records.

The games that are shown in full are also part of the SmartGo database so I didn’t retranscribe them.

There’s a bunch of positions from other games, but not full games. I think they’re to show good and bad moves and sequences and variations. They could take a while to write down.

I think they can show the position up to the point to be discussion and then either the actual game or some variations.

Eg Thailand vs Czechoslovakia in Round 2 and the result black wins by resignation

image 1

And I think diagram 1 might be the actual game if that’s what 実戦 means (actual fighting/battle?).

image 2

So if those are interesting I could try make some sgfs maybe, or would you rather just some images?

Thank you very much about this SmartGo tip. I will check their database. It seems promising.

In image 1 there is definitely actual game (in these kind of diagrams there is always range of moves written below: 1-52 in this case) Image 2 includes only variations with commentary so I don’t need those.

These are definitely interesting. At the moment I have only 6 games from 6th edition(1984).

Making sgfs is time consuming, so it’s enough that only I would waste time on it. Images from paper sources are more than enough.

Could you add a “download all” button? :smiley:

Technically you can download them all already, although it’s a little hidden.

In lower right corner there is a link to a github. Go there - click green “Code” button and “Download zip”. In event folder you will find wagc games. There are also some other events available, mostly Polish championships in different categories.

Neat!

Do you want more game records? Between GoGod and go4go, I have 755 SGFs here from WAGC that I think aren’t in your archive. What’s the best way for me to get them to you?

Thank you xela. Please pm me on OGS.

Hello, for the KPMC, I represented Ireland in 2012. Korean Prime Minister’s Cup – Irish Go Association However, you’ve marked that as me representing the UK James Hutchinson - Stats - Korea Prime Minister Cup Archive You’ve probably got this info from the EGD https://europeangodatabase.eu/EGD/Player_Card.php?&key=14850187 (There was at one point some confusion with the folks organising the EGD. Although legally Belfast is in the United Kingdom, Belfast players are typically marked as Ireland, so that OpenGotha doesn’t pair us with folks from Dublin as we tend to make a lot of the same tournaments. I think an EGD admin changed my country retrospectively for the 2012 KPMC tournament)

Also, I think there’s a mistake in how you counted games in 2021 (possibly 2020 also) These years were played online due to covid and it was a sort of knockout. I am recorded as 2 wins, 6 losses, but I only played 4 games (with 2 wins, 2 losses) Korea Prime Minister Cup Archive - 2021

Hello James. I will correct this. If you want to correct 2012 country also in EGD please write to them.

Update: Game records reached 2500 for WAGC.

Games also added to KPMC (over 1500). From KPMC I’m missing games mostly from early years - before 2017.

You can also contact me if you want similar archive for your event (for example national championship).

Rough estimation 50 players x 10 rounds x 20 years. 10000 . I didn’t expect so many but it seems coherent
