STRONGEST YOUTH PLAYER SOUGHT: The American Go Association has just been invited to send a representative to a children's tourney July 27-30 in Seoul, South Korea.
Players must have been born after January 1, 1993 and must be a current member of the AGA. The event is sponsored by the Korean Baduk Association, which must have our nomination immediately, so anyone interested must email AGA President Mike Lash right away at president@usgo.org The deadline for submissions is this Saturday at 12 noon EST. The Korean Baduk Association will cover airfare and accommodation expenses for the player and one chaperone (who does not have to be the child's parent).
The Children's Championship, usually a Korean-only event, has been opened up this year to Japan, China, Russia, Thailand, Taiwan, the Netherlands and the United States.
