World Youth Goe Championship
Keywords: Tournament
This is an annual tournament with two divisions, a junior division for players 12 years old and younger, and a senior division for players between 13 and 18. The Championship started in 1984. This is a Goe event, sponsored by the Ing Foundation. Amongst other things, this means komi is 8 points (with Black winning in the case of draws). To compensate slightly for the large komi, the winner of nigiri is allowed to choose colours, rather than having to take Black.
