[Seattle Go Center] Youth yesterday; Thanksgiving week schedule changes; upcoming events

3:27 PM |

Good afternoon Go fans,

Youth Tournament
   Yesterday was the Go Center's annual Fall Youth Tournament -- a fun event where the kids could choose whether to play their games on 19x19 or 13x13.  Deep thanks go to Sonny Cho, Peter Kron, and Brian Allen for making it smooth and satisfying; also to the families who make it possible for their kids to play!  Eight kids played three rounds on 19x19, and thirteen played four rounds on 13x13.  For most of them, it was their first tournament ever.  The youngest player was in preschool!  The oldest players were in 7th grade.  Prizes were chosen in order of results -- more wins = earlier selection.  I was happy to see the Go sets went quickly!  (Go equipment prizes were donated, so if you have a board in good condition that you just don't use anymore, consider donating it to the Go Center.)

Holiday Schedule Fluctuations
   Nick Sibicky's DDK class will run as usual today at 6:30, and tomorrow the Go Center will be open as usual for "the largest weekly gathering of Go players in North America (possibly the Western Hemisphere)™"!
   Wednesday, Drew Barnett's "Go Basics" class is canceled ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.  Larry Eclipse will have the Go Center open a little later than usual, 6:30 - 9:00 PM.
   Thursday, the Go Center is closed for Thanksgiving; and Friday the Go Center is closed as usual.
   Saturday, the Go Center will be open as usual, 1:00 - 8:00 PM.  Michael Brown will be covering for Dennis Wheeler.
