Lightning Tournament May 24th

This May 24th, we are hosting another Lightning tournament from 2pm to 6pm.  This is a casual, lots-of-fun handicap tournament with fast time control (1 min main time with 5x10second byouyomi).  They say lightning Go is about instinct, not reading, so abandon the intensity of reading for more cutting and crashing and burning and laughter.  There will be 5 rounds with an estimated 20-30 min per game.

I look forward to seeing you there and lets us start the year with some lighting fast games.

Looking for Volunteers for U-District Street Fair

We are returning to the U-District Street Fair (May 17th-18th). This is a large outdoor event where we teach hundreds of people the game of Go. I am looking for 6-8 Volunteers to help with teaching people and 2-4 people help with setup and take down. We do need to bring our own tables so an extra set of hands are very welcome.

Outside of the set up, this event tends to be very fun and easy going. there are lots of booths and even some live music to enjoy with the festivities.

If you can help out with either teaching or setup/takedown, Please let me at programs@seattlego.org . If you are curious about the event or have question, I am also happy to try to answer any questions as best I can.

A Great Cherry Blossom and Sakura Con

Thanks to all our volunteers this year that help out at this years Cherry Blossom Festival and Sakura Con. Despite last year being good, we did even better at both events this years with more people attending and positive feedback, for that I’m very grateful to you all.

Also Congrats to our 13×13 Handicap Tournament winners with Thomas Gehrt (first place and center), Nick C (second place and left) and Anthony To (third place and right).
