San Francisco Go Workshop with Janice Kim 3P Announced

Janice Kim, 3 Dan professional, will teach a two-day go workshop the weekend of June 23 and 24 in Berkeley, California. Berkeley is home to two go clubs and Bay Area Go Players Association, and is just across the bay from San Francisco. The workshop is open to go players of all strengths (players below 10 kyu may want at least a year's go experience to benefit from this workshop), and advanced registration is required. Each student will have the opportunity to submit game records before the workshop, and Janice will use them to tailor discussions to the specific interests and needs of the students. Each student will receive a workshop manual containing the records to be discussed, and files will be available for download as well. "I enjoy seeing the clever moves played in finely-tuned games between world-class players," Kim says, descriibing the main idea of the content of this workshop is, "but what I really need to know is what to do with the messed-up positions, wacky moves, and mistakes that come up in my games." Janice Kim co-authored the award-winning Learn to Play Go book series and also writes a go blog. Her recent workshop in Portland, Oregon and lectures at the Cotsen Go Tournament in Los Angeles were very popular.
