Live From Gotham: With 64 players -- including six 7-dans --registered, this Saturday's Gotham Go Tournament has maxed out, reports organizer Peter Armenia, "due to space and equipment limitations." However, you can follow the top-board action live on KGS starting at 10a EST, as the E-Journal broadcasts games with commentary by pros and top players, including Gansheng Shi 1P, Justin Teng and Hugh Zhang. Players will be competing for cash prizes and books from Slate and Shell.

More speakers and the expo schedule will be confirmed in the next couple weeks, reports organizer Cole Pruitt. 

 "Because another event (the Penny Arcade Expo) will be held in Boston at the same time, March 23-24, hotel space is already filling up quickly, so we're recommending that anyone interested in attending sign up now," Pruitt urges.
