German Go Championship
    Keywords: Tournament

This page refers to the normal championship for individuals; there are also German Champions of Women's Go, Rengo, Youth Go, Lightning Go and Team Go.

The German Go Championship is a yearly event consisting of a preliminary round and a final round. In the preliminary round, a 6-round swiss system tournament, any German citizen or person who has been resident in Germany for at least 5 years, that is of at least 3 dan strength, may participate. The best 6 of the preliminary round, as well as last year's champion and runner-up, then meet for the final round of 8, which is played as a round-robin.

Past Champions


mgoetze: And in the future, I hope to provide you with reports from the actual events and such. ;) For now some gossip... there is a discussion currently taking place suggesting that the bar for entry to the preliminary round should be raised to 4 dan, and that in this case it should be oriented towards the EGF rating list, to prevent some funny rank inflations (not that anyone ever pretended to have attained 3 dan status just so they could participate *g*)...
