On Friday 9th March 2007, Nippon Club Igo Kai welcomes:
Brief biographies of our visitors can be found here.
As always, Nippon Club Igo Kai invites all go players to attend this prestigious event.
We plan to have simultaneous play with both An YoungKil and Lee JungWoo, followed by a discussion of at least one of their games.
Nippon Club Igo Kai meets from 5.30pm until 9.00pm.
Simultaneous games are planned to start at 6pm.
Discussion will follow when all the games are complete.
The event will be followed by dinner in China Town shortly after 9pm.
The charge for attending this event will be the usual £3 Nippon Club board fee.
There will be a further £5 privilege charge for people wishing to play our professional visitors — An YoungKil, and Lee JungWoo. This will help cover their costs in coming to visit us.
A £5 appreciation donation from those wishing to observe is strongly urged, again to help cover travel expenses and the likes.
Whilst no booking is required to attend and observe, no guarantee of a simultaneous game can be made without prior confirmation. Therefore if you would like to play against one of our professional visitors please contact Jonathan Turner before the event and as early as possible.
There are no restrictions on who is allowed to take part, although stronger players are most likely to benefit from the experience. All that is asked is that you don’t delay proceedings by playing too slowly or continuing a clearly lost game. Please pay heed if a stronger observer recommends resignation.
All are welcome to join us for dinner in China Town afterwards. I hope that people coming along will be kind enough to join me in treating our visitors to this meal.
Remember this is a rare opportunity to play and later socialise with two of the top go players in the world! It is a lot cheaper than flying to Korea where you might not even get a game with a pro anyway!
