Cho Seokbin (first name is Seokbin) is a former Korean insei and one of the strongest amateurs currently. He held the Japan Amateur Kisei title. He started a Go school in 2013 in Japan, and six of his students became pros.

Seokbin is visiting Seattle, 21-22 JUN, and he agreed to do a two-day workshop at SGC (thanks to one of our volunteers for connecting us). SGC will be closed on Saturday, 21 JUN, for general game play (open only for the workshop attendees).

This photo is from an interview by Sorin when Seokbin visited SGC in 2007: http://361points.com/choseokbin/.

We will have our usual format:

* Start time Sat and Sun is 10am. Registration from 10-10:30am Sat with mingling and visiting with Seokbin. We'll go until about 5pm each day.

* We will break for lunch roughly around noon or 12:30, and we will order pizza. Pizza costs $15/day, choice of either cheese or pepperoni, and we will order enough for four slices per person. You can also bring your lunch.

* The class costs is $30 per day for non-voting members (or $50 for both days) and $20 per day voting members (lifetime or annual).

We hope to see you there. Studying with pros and strong insei is a great way to get new insights into Go.

Cheers,

Bill
