All four pairs at the top table of Thursday evening's North American Pair Go Championship were youth attendees. Tina Li 3D and Aaron Ye 7D (below left with Hajin Lee 4P) ultimately prevailed, defeating Sophia Wang 4D and Jeremy Chiu 7D in the final game by 2.5 points. As the winning pair, Li and Ye will represent the United States at the 30th International Amateur Pair Go Championship in Tokyo, Japan this December. "We got off to a smooth start," reports TD Todd Heidenreich, who was able to get the games going by 7:30. "With a larger tournament field of 112 players this year, we only had three boards that needed handicaps."
