Seattle Go Center Expecting Visitors Around Go Congress

With the U.S. Go Congress happening just an hour's drive away in Tacoma, the Seattle Go Center is preparing for special events before and after the Congress.   Professional Ryo Maeda will be visiting the Go Center before the Congress, on Aug. 1 and 2, while Masaki Takemiya 9p and Chihiro Chujo 1p will be giving lectures and playing simultaneous games Aug. 12-15 after the Congress.  The calendar on the Go Center website has the details. The Seattle Go Center will be closed during most of Go Congress, but it will be open on Tuesday, Aug 6, from 3 - 10 p.m.  "Tuesdays are our biggest day, so it's always great time for visitors to drop by; everybody can find a game, from beginners to 6 dan players," reports Manager Brian Allen.  Photo: Brian Allen washing the Go Center sign.  Photo by Luke Allen.
