Junior Tournament Result

On 7th November we started a match on KGS between fifteen British youth players and a team of fifteen Chinese children from Hong Kong, under Liana Ao 4p. This carried on for several weeks with one or two games each weekend. The format was that of last team standing, like the former China-Japan Supergo Matches, with the winner of each game staying on. The games were played online in the KGS British Room, with Chinese Rules with 30 minutes main time + 3 x 30 seconds byoyomi and komi is 7.5 points. The British team was selected from our list of young players, taking those who are currently active, settled in the UK and who replied to the invitation.
