Dash International Baduk (Go, Weiqi) Club Championships

To whom it may concern

It is my pleasure to announce that we are holding the Dash International Baduk Club Championships from 2004. This competition will be held quarterly (every 3 months) throughout the year. The purpose of these championships is to promote friendly relations and mutual understanding between all Baduk players in the world. These championships will be held on the internet.[ext] http://www.dashn.com/english

First of all, I would like to express my gratitude towards the Club members of major European cities which are (in travel order): St. Petersburg, Munchen, Wien, Praha, Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris and Frankfurt that had shown their hospitality when I had visited them with my students last summer.

It will be an opportunity for the players (especially from Korean clubs) to meet foreigners for the first time on the internet site. Also, players can exchange opinions about their games and see what other countries baduk players think. It will open and widen their perspective and give them wider views about Baduk players from different countries.

And if you have any suggestions or proposals to make the championships more successful, they are more than welcome.

With sincere new year greetings and warm regards from Korea,

Prof. Sang-Dae Hahn

Organizer & Tournament Director
