[Seattle Go Center] Beginners and Advanced today

Hello Go folks,

Beginners
   Thursday, the Go Center is open 2 PM - 9 PM for casual play.  Day manager Michael Brown is often available to teach beginners, and Larry Eclipse has regularly scheduled "Complete Beginner" classes, 6:30-8:30 PM.  Larry helps beginners understand the rules and begin to apply simple tactics in their games.  Highly recommended for complete beginners! These are free of charge, aside from Go Center attendance.  (First ten visits free!)

Advanced
   New this Thursday is Yue Zhang's "Advanced Go" class for players in the 9 kyu - 6 dan range, 7:00 - 9:00 PM.  Yue will use a novel mixture of whole-class lectures, games, and AI-augmented game reviews.  Yue's individualized form of teaching accelerate the learning curve!
   About Yue Zhang: Currently rated 7.7 in the AGA, Yue placed 1st in the 2016 Seattle Anniversary Open and the 2018 Spring Open. Yue holds a PhD in paleontology from Ohio State University, and he has extensive college teaching experience.
   Tuition for this class is $25 per two-hour session for non-members and daily members (with the usual Go Center admission charge waived), or $20 per session for youth (17 and younger) and voting members (quarterly, annual, and lifetime members).  Partial scholarships are available for this class — please contact Mike Malveaux <programs@SeattleGo.org> if the tuition would be a barrier for you.  We want all Go players willing to work hard to improve, to be able to take advantage of this amazing opportunity, so don't be shy -- give it a try!  As an experiment, we are not requiring advance sign-up for this class.

See you soon at the Go Center,
