[Seattle Go Center] Tournament report from last Sunday

Hello Go Fans,

Sunday, October 7, 2018, the Go Center held a three-rounds tournament to celebrate our 23rd anniversary. 32 players attended, a quarter of whom have Youth memberships in the AGA! Tournament Director Bill Chiles handled clock malfunctions and consequent pairing delays with aplomb, and Daniel Top stepped in smoothly to render assistance.

The "Open" section was limited to eight players maximum, all vying for the First Prize of $150 cash. It was won by Alex Xinlei Liu (7 dan) with a 3-0 record. He has been a strong contender at Seattle tournaments, even winning the Seattle Go Center Spring Tournament Open in 2017.

The twenty-four players in the "Handicap" section all had games with handicaps of 3 stones or less, and all but two games were at 2 stones or less. "Handicap" players who won all three of their games were awarded prizes of Go books and equipment. In addition, there was a cash prize for the Youth (under 18) player with the best win-loss record, which was divided among three Youth who went undefeated!

Open Section 3-game winner:
Alex Xinlei Liu 7 dan

Handicap Section 3-game winners:
Yao Zhihong (2 dan)
Chen Xiangnan (3 kyu)
Frank Brown (6 kyu)
Lucas Wu Lu (9 kyu)
