Go Congress Updates: So much go, so little time; More Congress coverage than ever

So much go, so little time: The first full day of the 2018 US Go Congress was packed with go, from the first rounds of the US Open and the US Open Masters (the main tournament crosstabs have been updated; click here for the US Open and here for the Masters) to the first rounds of the Senior (55 and over) and Womens' tournaments, and ending with the 13x13 tournament and the second round of the US Masters. In between was a jam-packed schedule of lectures, simuls and of course all the casual play attendees could fit in. Pro lectures this year are targeted by playing strength and there are special sessions like Andy Liu's Beginner's Boot Camp as well as the ever popular In-seong Hwang's "Let's Get the Go-Avengers," which drew a standing-room-only crowd, and the first of three Facebook Open Go simuls. photo by Matt Burrall

More Congress coverage than ever: Whether you're on-site at the Congress or keeping track from home, we have lots of ways to enjoy the Congress virtually, from reports on our Facebook page and Twitter stream to the free Congress mobile app, which has a very active social stream on which anyone can post and which features lots of on-the-spot posts by the EJ's roving reporters and photographers. You can watch live streams of the top boards on Twitch or YouTube and there's also live pro commentary on KGS.
