Colorado held its first pro workshop in long time when Yoonyoung Kim, 8p of Korea visited Denver November 2nd and 3rd. Players from both Colorado and Utah, 26 in total, participated. The highlight of the two-day event was when Ms. Kim played everyone in a team simul on the second day. Players gathered into six teams of three to four members each who could combine their Go knowledge on each move. Still, each team fell one-by-one against Ms. Kim, who is ranked in the top ten female players in Korea. “I could see everyone was really enjoying the simul by the wide smiles on their faces," says organizer Eric Wainwright, "even as they went down in defeat. I hope we can repeat this event in the near future.”
Yoonyoung Kim now resides in Montreal and teaches Go online and at local clubs. You can find out more on her website at yybaduk.mozello.com. Find more pictures of the event at Google photos.
