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.
