Professionals

   

Professional Go Players should be a big benefit for the EGC. Mostly from Japan, China and Korea, it may be that European or American professionals are present.

EGF discusses with Nihon Ki-In, Chinese Wei Qi association and Korean Baduk Association possibilities for sending professionals to the European Go Congress. Usually discussions are finalized during WAGC in May. At that time it should be clear what number of professionals can be expected and from what country.

Sometimes professionals come with a tour group of Japanese / Korean Go players and visit the congress for a couple of days.

And sometimes professionals just come to the Go congress because they want to have fun.

Usual financial construction is that Professional organizations sponsor the flights and European Go congress pays (part) of the accommodation and local expenses. Contact EGF for latest details.

Anyhow they should be treated as very important guests of the European Go Congress.

Things professionals can do:

  • Comment on congress games in a lecture hall
  • Comment on professional games (usually their own) in a lecture hall
  • Comment on games in the congress journal?
  • Comment on games in a more individual setting ???
  • Play simultaneous games
  • Play individual games mostly against the stronger amateur dan players? in an informal environment - EG the tents in the garden at Strausberg.
  • Teaching of all sorts
  • Play in Pair Go Championship, Rengo and other side tournaments just for extra fun for the participants.
