Dear Members,
Three previous winners of Seattle Go Center tournaments competed in the Spring Tournament, held May 6. They were Sorin Gherman 6d, who won the 2018 Jin Chen tournament, Kai Fugami 6d, winner of the 2017 Anniversary Tournament, and Yue Zhang 7d, who won the 2016 Anniversary Tournament. This time, Yue Zhang won the eight person Open Section with a 3-0 record, while the other two players had 2-1 records, along with Zhixiang Lou 5d.
The Handicapped Section had 20 players. In a change from previous tournaments, there were no bands in the Handicapped Section. Book and equipment prizes were given to all players who won three games. They were Zihong Yao 2d, Frank Brown 6k, Xiangnan Chen 7k, and Lucas Lu 9k, who also won the youth prize. Nobody chose the full set of Hikaru no Go books, so they are waiting for another tournament.
The tournament has already been rated, since everybody had up to date memberships with the American Go Association (AGA). To see a graph of your rating (or those of your friends), go to:
