KGSRooms/Soul of the Meijin

A room on KGS for any Go player. In this room we are united as Go players yearning to get stronger together. Competing in various tournaments and getting lectures from strong players. In this room our motto is Win, Lose, Learn. Every game since we were beginners has carried us to the level of which we are at now. Prove to everyone how much you have learned and compete!

Tournaments

Every so often we at Soul of the Meijin decide to start a tourney that usually lasts for a couple of weeks. The tournaments won't be on an exact date but the games must be finished by a certain date. No we are not affiliated with KGS Plus, so there will be no physical prize (sorry for the inconvenience). However nevertheless, as we compete we remember to have fun and learn. There will be titles distributed to the winners, but they have not been set up yet and will be in certain tournaments. (Titles subject to change). Sandbagging will not be allowed, and if discovered, it will result into an automatic disqualification and contact with an admin.
