2010 American Go Yearbook Released

The complete 2010 American Go Yearbook is now available for download.
 The 123-page full-color PDF includes a wealth of material culled from last year’s reporting in the American Go E-Journal, as well as latest ratings and a list of AGA chapters. Yearbook Managing Editor Chris Garlock calls the 8th annual Yearbook “in many ways our most ambitious yet.” “Now, as a PDF-only publication, we’re hot-linked to a staggering amount of great online content that we never had the space for as a print publication,” says Garlock. “And as fabulous as we think that Yearbook has always looked, it’s so much better now in full color.” The Yearbook brings together previously-published Special Edition reports on the U.S. Go Congress, the World Amateur Go Championship and the Cotsen with other features – also previously released – such as the Member’s Edition Collection Of Games, Commentaries & More, The Year in Headlines, Games & Commentaries, Instruction, The Go Player’s Guide to the World, Go Spotting and Youth reports.
New material includes a 10-page Go Tools section covering go books, software and hardware; the 10-page Scoreboard section, with full-color photos from events held in 2010; a snapshot of ratings as of July 17; the top 50 players with most games/events from both 2010 and 1991-2010; bios, photos and contact info on America’s Teaching Professionals, and a photo gallery of U.S. Titleholders 2010. “We hope you enjoy and use this Yearbook for many years to come,” says Garlock. “We welcome your comments and suggestions at journal@usgo.org, especially since it’s now easy for us to correct the PDF. We look forward to continuing to bring you go news, photos and games from the global go community in the EJ, on our website, in our Special Reports and in the 2011 Yearbook. And yes, for those who prefer a hard copy of the Yearbook, we’re looking into a ‘print-on-demand’ option.”
