Hommage pour M. Takase

2012-04-08 00:00:00

En octobre 2011, un grand monsieur du go, Tamotsu Takase, nous a quitté. Il restera toujours dans notre souvenir comme ayant fait naître le go à Genève dans les années 70. Parmi les joueurs qui ont vécu ces débuts activement, Frédéric Cadei a tenu à rendre hommage à ce véritable ami par un texte émouvant que je vous invite à lire.
Aussi bien pour ceux qui l'ont bien connu que pour ceux qui désirent connaître ces joueurs envers qui nous sommes redevables de pouvoir jouer au go en Suisse.

13rd Geneva Active Go

2011-12-04 00:00:00

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 S�bastien Koch (Ko Go Club) & Wang Jie from the Chinese Restaurant Lin-Xiang that did as usual both a perfect job.

12. Winterthurer Turnier

2011-11-13 00:00:00

Das 12. Winterthurer Go-Turnier fand diesen Samstag wieder einmal in der alten Kaserne statt.
17 Denkkraftsportler haben sich durch ihre Gegner zu H�chstleistungen anspornen lassen. Ein erstaunlicher erster Platz hat Lorenz Trippel aus Z�rich dadurch eingenommen, dass er sage und schreibe alle vier Gegen�ber bezwang; eine Doping-Kontrolle wurde nicht durchgef�hrt. 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 wei�en und schwarzen Konfekt-Kugeln geschm�ckt - diese konnte man sich nach einer Niederlage geben bzw. nach einem Sieg g�nnen.
