CHIU TOPS MORNINGSTAR HAPPY CUP YOUTH TOURNEY

Second-grader Jeremy Chiu 1d topped the MorningStar Happy Cup Youth Go Tournament with six wins last Saturday, May 8 in Santa Clara, California. "Thirty-four elementary and middle school kids gathered together on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and played six rounds of 19x19 games," says Yanping Zhao, who co-organized the third-annual event with Wenguang Wang. To ensure "a really fun experience for every kid," Zhao reports that players earned prize tickets after each round, "and used these tickets to exchange various fancy prizes." Each participant was also rewarded with a trophy and at the event's conclusion, "all the kids and their parents enjoyed a refreshing ice cream party." - photo by Wenguang Wang; click here and here for more photos
