Zhang and Su Victorious in the 5th North American Kyu Championships

The 5th North American Kyu Championships was held on February 3rd on KGS, and allowed kyu players from the US, Canada, and Mexico to test their mettle. 13-year old Andrew Zhang 1k and 9-year old Jiayang Su 2k topped the field of 56 young players to win their respective Senior(13-17) and Junior (12 and under) divisions. This victory also granted them an invitation to play in the 25th Redmond Cup (traditionally restricted to only dan-level players), which will be opening for registration very soon. Complete tournament results can be found here. All division winners in each of 5 brackets will receive crystal trophies with their names engraved into them. In addition, courtesy of the American Go Foundation, all players who completed the tournament received either a $400 scholarship to the 2018 AGA Go Camp (details TBD) or a $200 scholarship to the 2018 US Go Congress in Williamsburg, Virginia.
