Syracuse go club hosts screening and simul

The Syracuse Go Club hosted a two-part event at the Manlius Library last month, consisting of a showing of the film The Surrounding Game followed by a simul given by 16-year-old club member Tony Tang 8d.  "Tony played fifteen games over almost two and half hours and maintained a torrid pace, taking no breaks and averaging under five seconds per move throughout (see video of one circuit here)," reports  Richard Moseson. Three players came from Buffalo for the movie and simul, "but most of Tony's opponents (3 dan players, 9 single-digit kyu players, and 3 double-digit kyu players) were members of the Syracuse club.  Even though Tony allowed everyone to choose their own handicaps, he ended up winning all but four of the games."  Pictures from the event can be seen here.
