New York Go Center
The New York GO Center formed in 1995 and incorporated as Nihon Ki-in America, Inc., a not-for-profit corporation and an official chapter in the American Go Association as well as being affiliated with the Japanese Go Association. It is one of the four Go Centers that the Japanese professional player Iwamoto Kaoru started in various places around the world. Through its affiliation with the Japanese Go Association, there is a resident Japanese strong player who comes over from Japan and stays for 3 months giving lessons and playing teaching games. We are currently working on getting professionals to come and stay and teach at the go Center.
Its equipment and stone sets and quite friendly members make it a good place to play.
