Club Activities
WEDNESDAY MEETINGS
The Upper Valley Go Club meets on Wednesdays for friendly games. The following handicap table is for these friendly games. The numbers in the table indicate the number of handicap stones given by the stronger player. Handicaps are not rating dependent, but are game dependent, so if they look inconsistent, it may very well be the case. Tough luck if there is someone who just seems to do exceptionally well against you. Handicaps are specified according to the handicap placement page.
