Segata

    Keywords: Humour

There have been rumours about an invitation only tournament called "Segata". Supposedly it is supported by a japanese pro. Not much is known about him but apparently he was at the European Go Congress 2005 in Prague, scouting for possible entries. The players remain anonymous. Flights and accomodation are covered by a decendent of the japanese emperor, who is also unknown.

There was some information about the tournament dating back to 1951, but this has never been confirmed offically.

In 2001 a player with the nick "Segata2001" has been seen, who was broadcasting 4 games in a demo of high quality, but questions about the players identities were ignored.

There have been rumours that the next torunament is scheduled 2006 around August.
