 Pavol Lisy from Slovakia managed to win 4 straight games at the European Pro Qualification. After the failed attempt to create a european pro system in 2010 the EGF found a chinese sponsor to make this a successful kick-off. They signed a contract for over 10 years collaboration so it looks like there is some secured activity for this pro system in the near future. We are looking forward to more qualifications and some big pro events for many years now. At the next Vienna tournament we will see already the next european pro, it will be one of the players that are still in the run: Cornel Burzo, Lukas Podpera, Ali Jabarin or Mateusz Surma. Congrats to Pavol for becoming the first European Pro! Wbaduk transmissions, Photos from the Strasbourg Quali

 Under a big warming sun and a clear blue sky, the fifth edition of the EPFL Go tournament took place in Satellite, the campus pub, for the first time. The place is ideal, with a beautiful atmosphere, nice decorations and a terrace to play outside. The Satellite staff was really helpful and made sure that the tournament ran smoothly. You could have a slice of pizza or a beer, and play babyfoot between games.
As always, free accommodation was offered for the participants, and with the beautiful weather it was a perfect time to drink a beer or two under the sun. Some went to the border of the lake for lunch or just to chill. Some even went for a night swim…
In-Seong Hwang came once more to provide a wonderful teaching and sharp advices for the ambitious. He reviewed games and did a lecture at the end. As always, lot of knowledge to absorb!
We had 34 players, a decent number and we would like to thanks all that made the journey.
 On a final note, congratulation to Nikola Mitic who won the first place, coming all the way from Serbia! This fantastic performance gave him one more GoR point!
Second place went to Félicien Mazille who did a great tournament, losing only to N. Mitic, and third place to Benoit Felix, who remains a fiercefull opponent.
It was a wonderful experience and we hope to continue this tradition year after year! Some people were so enthusiastic about this event than some talked of gathering a team for undertaking a European Go Congress in EPFL… to be continued. FAU

Bonjour à vous. L'initiation (méthode Yasuda), dimanche 18 mai 2014 au Musée d'ethnographie de Neuchâtel, a connu un grand succès. A la suite de la Nuit des Musées, diverses animation d'origine japonaise ont été organisées le dimanche au Musée d'ethno.
 1600 personnes ont découvrées ces animations, et plus de cinquante ont suivi les décos animées par Marcel Schweizer, qui avait en outre été invité par le Musée à présenter quelques-uns de ses travaux artistiques ayant un lien avec les calligraphies chinoise et japonaise.
Un petit garçon de quatre ans, accompagné de sa maman, est revenu trois fois dans l'atelier de go qu'il préférait à toutes les autres activités.
Par ailleurs, dèès le 19 juin, le Musée d'ethnographie de Neuchâtel présente une grande exposition sur la culture japonaise.
A votre disposition si vous avez besoin d'autres précisions.
Avec mes amicales salutations.
Marcel Schweizer

 A blending sun and a beautiful hotel Ascona with wonderful premises warmly welcomed 33 players. Most came from every part of Switzerland, but there were also people coming from Italy, France, Germany, Croatia, Russia and Sweden! Those who came early enough on Friday, or even some days in advance, enjoyed the hotel pool, jacuzzi, restaurant, and the colors of the spring. Friday night there were already many activities: aperitif offered by the hotel at 18:30, registration for the tournament till midnight, playing room available the whole evening, dinner and the meeting of the FSG. The tournament started saturday morning early. Many players moved to the outdoor terrace to play their games.  Hwang In-Seong 8D was in the garden analyzing the games after they finished. Saturday evening there was the award ceremony for the Swiss Team Championship 2013-2014, after round 4 and before dinner: In-Seong analyzed a game of the event, then S. Woellfel delivered team trophy and medals to the representatives of the teams. The games of Sunday were enlightened with a bright sun and more than 20 degrees too. The winner of the tournament should have been Yaqi Fu 6D, who won the first 6 games; but he had to leave the tournament before the last round to catch his plane. So the top prizes were won by the young C. Lextrait from France, D. Minieri from Italy/Basel and V. Bogdanov von Russia. Adrian Neziri from S.Gallen won the prize for best performance under the top bar, by winning 6/7 and a promotion of 2 grades in EGF rating.  The three best ranked swiss players in the tournament were in order: S. Koch, Swiss Champion 2014, F. Aubelle and B. Felix. Qualified for the next WAGC and KPMC in Korea are the new Swiss Champion S. Koch and L. Trippel: go and show your skills! Thanks to In-seong and his yunguseng school for his generous contribution with 700.- Fr to the swiss yunguseng foundation, don't hesitate to ask for support if you teach young go players!  All those who were there will keep a beautiful souvenir of this tournament, with good feelings and enjoying playing go in magnificent ambiance. Hope to meet you soon again with the same spirit!

After 72 games, but only 4 Forfeits, Zürich is still leading the Swiss championship. There is only one round left, and the first 4 teams including Die Basilisken und Ishi can be 2nd, and Ko Go I can even have a small hope to be first. A small surprise according the standings, but not so much according the strength, "Les Varans du Ko Go II" won against one of the favorite Ishi, the board 1 was a fight between 2 Swiss Champions. Finally the young talented players Valentin Schneeberger (Neuchatel) and Guillaume Lob (Geneva) both won their games. ADW

In the top match of the 5th round, Zürich has beaten the Ko Go Club by 2-1 and now has good chances to be Swiss Champion. Li Yue who did recently very well in Madrid and Lorenz Trippel, who is now secretary of the european federation did their job. Other matches were almost without surprise. There is still 2 rounds left, but the top 4 will be decided during the last round.

 Letzten Samstag hat der Go-Club Winterthur das asiatische gleichnamige Spiel in der Stadtbibliothek vorstellen dürfen. Wir spielten im 3. Stock in der Abteilung "Freizeit".
Mehr als 20 Interessierte haben sich das (von den Regeln her einfache) Spiel beibringen lassen. In Einzelkursen oder Paarweise wurden die Regeln erläutert und es durften gleich die ersten Partien gespielt werden. Die meisten Kursteilnehmer waren gleich begeistert.
Ein Unikum, das vier Quadratmeter große Spiel für in Parks oder auf Anlässen, wurde zum ersten Mal der Öffentlichkeit vorgestellt.

 In the online school the students gather once a week in the evening to play a game for the league. After the game is played Hwang In-seong joins the room and reviews some of the games. He has years of teaching experience and is himself a very strong player. At the end of the month 2 players from each league move up to the higher league and 2 move down to the lower league. Sounds very competitive but it's mainly to make people play lots of and serious games. 3 evenings each month In-Seong gives a lecture to inspire the participants to try out new things.
