RE: [Seattle Go Center] Proofread pls? Congress; Ratings Tourn.; Hiroshima Commemoration; Basics Class

Mike:

              About the "Atom Bomb" Game, Brian allowed me to study the files at the SGC. Based on what I found, Don Farrell, the author of the book, Tinian and the Bomb: Project Alberta and Operation Centerboard, asked me to write up the occasion of the "Atom Bomb" Game, and he inserted it into his book on pages 278-279. I edited the book for him, and it was published two months ago. On page 278 are two photos. One is of the position of the "Atom Bomb" Game at the time of the dropping of the bomb on Hiroshima. The other is a picture of the board that Hashimoto Utaro and Iwamoto Kaoru used on display at the Imperial War Museum in London during the museum's "Atom Bomb Game Event" on the 60th anniversary in 2005. T. Mark Hall owned the board. You may remember T. Mark from the Santa Barbara Congress. He died a couple of years after the Congress.

Hi Brian, proofread the Hiroshima part, if you don't mind -- I'm nervous about inadvertent offenses.

Thanks,

Mike M.

 

Hello Go people,

 

A few things to mention.

 

US Go Congress is over.

Some players at the Go Congress, students of Jonathan Cheng, had admirable records in the US Open.  Cat Mai won all six of her games, and Nick Wilmes won five and lost one.

 

Ratings tournament Sunday.

Sunday Aug. 5 is the first Sunday of the month, so it's time to TOURNEY!  Registration 10 AM - 10:45; first round 11 AM.  Three rounds total (but you don't have to play all rounds -- just inform the TD of your plans).  No cost (usual Go Center membership applies -- http://www.seattlego.org/membership/ for details), but AGA membership is required (see http://www.usgo.org/join-aga-today for details).  Come hone your skills with us!  http://www.seattlego.org/events/

 

Hiroshima commemoration Monday.

August 6, 1945, the founder of the Go Center, Iwamoto Kaoru 9-Dan, was playing in the Honinbo tournament near Hiroshima.  The experience of surviving the nuclear attack helped inspire Iwamoto-sensei's vision of increasing peace and cross-cultural understanding via Go.  On Monday, August 6, Go Center volunteers will replay the "Atomic Bomb" game at Green Lake, starting at 5 PM, prior to the "Hiroshima to Hope" commemoration.  We will be on the grass near the Green Lake Trail:  https://goo.gl/maps/e1R5SUE5FFn

 

Go Basics class Monday.

Also on Monday, August 6, the Go Center will be open 5 PM - 9 PM.  Starting at 6:30, Drew Barnett will continue his series of classes on the basics of Go, aimed to help double-digit kyu players gain a firmer understanding.

 

See you at the Go Center,

 

Mike Malveaux
