Life and death on Halloween in Seattle

The Seattle Go Center had eight competitors, all kyu players, in the Contest of Life and Death on Halloween. Frank Lam did a great job of curating problems from the Nihon Ki-in that were challenging to our kyu players, and that had a single correct first move. Kyle Burg assisted ably. Lucy Wang won the competition, with 5 out 8 problems solved on the first try.  The prize was a quart of premium ice cream, which Lucy shared.  There was also pumpkin pie. photo: Lucy Wang and Nick Wilmes watch Zhi Wei Chen try the second set of problems. - photo/report by Brian Allen
