Dear Members,
The “Seattle 1” team of the AGA Pandanet City League won their tournament with Washington D.C. this weekend, playing on-line. This means that they win a free to trip to New York City to play the Vancouver B.C. team in person for the championship at the US Go Congress in August. Congratulations!
The Seattle team this round was Simon (Ximeng) Yu, Ho Son, and Momoko Tsutsui. Dong Baek Kim has played in other rounds. Michael Cho is the team captain, and Sonny Cho helped as well.
In the final round, Sonny reports that Simon was ahead by about 20 points when his opponent resigned. Momoko Tsutsui lost a close game by 4.5 points. Ho Son won an exciting game by 9 points against Jie Li 9d, who has won many national tournaments. Ho Son captured a mid-size dragon early in the game and never gave his opponent a chance to come back.
We look forward to the finals in New York!
Cheers,
Brian
