Yunguseng League Season 2

21.12.2011
The season 2 of the Yunguseng Dojang has started. It's a joint venture between the Swissgo and the Belgo Federation. This season brings some changes: It's now only one game per week (instead of two) and 5 games per month (instead of 7). The number of reviews though increased and there are 3 lessons per month as usual. In the lessons In-seong introduces tons of new insperational go techniques which you then practice in the league games and in the reviews he will show you how to fix all these gaps between theory and practice and make you play better games.

Swiss Go Camp at Montbonvon

20.12.2011
This year's camp was full of exciting games between the 20 participants. Besides that, we played against our Master In-seong and watched his Lessons and Reviews. The Hotel de la Gare at Montbonvon proved to be a really suitable place to held the camp and will be used probably for future camps, next April or August probably :). Photos, EGD

13rd Geneva Active Go

04.12.2011
The Ko Go Club has organized his 13rd Active Go the 4th december. 32 participants, a good average number (record was 2007, 47 participants).
Rick Wertenbroek has won the tournament in front of Hung Fioramonti & Felicien Mazille.
From the head trio, 2 were students of the Swiss yunguseng Dojang and 7/8 students have above 50%, that means the league is worth it.
As the tournament is with handicap, the winners are those who have made the more progress and became underrated.
Big thanks to the organiser Sébastien Koch (Ko Go Club) & Wang Jie from the Chinese Restaurant Lin-Xiang that did as usual both a perfect job.

12. Winterthurer Turnier

13.11.2011
Das 12. Winterthurer Go-Turnier fand diesen Samstag wieder einmal in der alten Kaserne statt.
17 Denkkraftsportler haben sich durch ihre Gegner zu Höchstleistungen anspornen lassen. Ein erstaunlicher erster Platz hat Lorenz Trippel aus Zürich dadurch eingenommen, dass er sage und schreibe alle vier Gegenüber bezwang; eine Doping-Kontrolle wurde nicht durchgeführt. Am anderen Ende hat ein 25 Kyu Spieler keck alle Partien zu Ende gespielt und sich trotz vier Niederlagen nicht entmutigen lassen: Hut ab! Wie immer waren die Tische mit weißen und schwarzen Konfekt-Kugeln geschmückt - diese konnte man sich nach einer Niederlage geben bzw. nach einem Sieg gönnen.

Derrière un magnifique sans faute de Sébastien Koch qui remporte "son" tournoi fétiche.

Yunguseng Dojang

In the swiss 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 (№ 2 in Europe). 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 on Friday In-Seong gives a lecture to inspire the partici­pants to try out new things.
