Go In Hamburg
    Keywords: Clubs & Places

Hamburg might well be called the Go capital of Germany - you can play Go here 7 days a week, and many of the top German players come from Hamburg. Since 1994, every year there have been at least 3 players from Hamburg in the final round of 8 of the German Go Championship!

Here are some of the top players in Hamburg:

All these are among the top 50 players in Germany according to the EGF Ratings.

And here are all the places you can play Go in Hamburg:

  • The Hamburg Go Club - Monday evenings from 7 PM at the CVJM. [ext] Inofficial Page.
  • [ext] Rahlstedt Go Club - Tuesday Evenings from 6 PM.
  • Harburg Go Group - Wednesday Evenings from 7 PM at the Rieckhof. (During the summer break, in the pub "Stumpfe Ecke" around the corner.)
  • University Go Group - Thursday Evenings from 6 PM. (They have a webpage but I lost the link...)
  • Stade Go Group - Thursday Evenings from 5:30 PM in the Pub "Zum Korken". (Stade is a small town near Hamburg.)
  • And last but not least the famous Schachcafe Altona, where you can play every evening from 7 PM. It is really full with Go players on Friday evenings, but some come almost every day. The owner is Jens Gillwald 4d.

You can find out more about these groups, the 3 big yearly tournaments in Hamburg and any special events at the [ext] Hamburg Chapter of the [ext] German Go Association.
