Lightning Tournament Jan 25th

This January 25th, 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 byo yomi).  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.

SGC Closures for Holidays

 Seattle Go Center will be closed Tue 24 DEC, Sat 28 DEC, and Tue 31 DEC for the holidays.

3rd Annual WA State Championship

Seattle AGA Chapter hosted the WA State Championship at the Seattle Go Center.  There were 26 attendees, smaller than last year, but a good competition with several strong players participating and many intense games.  As always, it was a fun and festive atmosphere with serious interesting games .  We held five rounds and gave cash prizes to first, second, and third places in the open tournament as well as high band handicapped tournament, low band, and a kids prize to the person under 18 who won the most games.

A special congratulation our winners (from left to right), for first place, Difei Pan, for second place, Zhuoran Zhang, for third place, Kenny Jin, and the high band and youth prizes go to Woody.
