San Diego Go Club hosts Spring Soiree

Nineteen go players showed up the San Diego Go Club's Spring 2016 Go Soiree, an informal quarterly gathering of players from all the go clubs in San Diego County, with other visitors from southern California. The match of the day featured AGA president Andy Okun matched up with UCSD freshman Weihan Huai, a 2-dan professional from China. Okun fought gamely but was no match for the student in a handicapped game.

 The go party was at the club president's house which gave the players the opportunity to peruse a 200+ go book library and borrow tomes that would improve their game. After playing for five hours, players socialized over pizza provided under the AGA rewards program. - report/photos by Ted Terpstra. photos: (right) action shot of a game and problem analysis; (left) Weihan Huai (left) and Andy Okun
