USCongress

   

I've been doing a little web research on the US Go Congress... I'm trying to at least put together a list of the locations of each of the past Congresses. My list so far:

                Location                    Sponsoring Club
 2005	21st	Tacoma, WA
 2004	20th	Rochester, NY               Empty Sky Go Club
 2003	19th	Houston, TX
 2002	18th	Chicago, IL
 2001	17th	York, PA                     Baltimore Go Club
 2000	16th	Denver, CO
 1999	15th	San Francisco, CA
 1998	14th	Santa Fe, NM
 1997	13th	Lancaster, PA
 1996	12th	Cleveland, OH
 1995	11th	Seattle, WA
 1994	10th	Washington, D.C. (RGG)
 1993	9th	South Hadley, MA (RGG)     Western MA Go Club
 1992	8th	Salem, OR (RGG)

 1987	3rd	South Hadley, MA           Western MA Go Club
 1986	2nd	Seattle, WA
 1985	1st	Westminster, MD

(RGG) indicates that the reference was found by searching rec.games.go

It is interesting that the sensei's Seattle page says that there was a congress in Seattle in 1986 and 1995 when "[ext] A Brief History of American Go" (PDF) says 1985 was the second US Congress in Seattle.

Perhaps some of you who actually went to these events can help out.

Bob McGuigan: The first U.S. Go Congress was actually in 1985. The AGA web page is in error on this point. I've filled in all the correct dates and places.

stlWill: Any word on when the [ext] U.S. Go Congress website might be updated to reflect the new location?
