KPMC 2022

19.11.2022

In September, Brian Kleiner represented Switzerland in the 17th Korea Prime Minister Cup (KPMC), in Gwangju. There were players from 53 countries present, with 6 rounds over three days of play. The organisation from the hosts was excellent from start to finish, the late summer weather was ideal, and a good spirit reigned throughout. The long bus rides were rewarded with attractive views of the country-side, explanations from the guides, and several memorable visits – first to a beautiful bamboo forest park, and then to a Baduk (Go) factory, museum, and shop for souvenirs. Equally memorable was the excellent Korean cuisine, for carnivores and vegetarians alike.

The devotion of the Korean people to Baduk was on display everywhere, from the reception and closing events, to the round-the-clock Baduk television stations. There were many hard-fought games at the tournament, with the best final results from the strong Korean 7 -dan player – an excellent and happy reward for the generous hosts! As for Brian, his performance was not stellar, but not abysmal either (3/6 wins). After the event, each player was treated to a personal drawing made by the visiting French artist Zoé Constans.

Lessons

Yunguseng Dojang

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.
