The 2010 World Amateur Go Championship has just finished in Hangzhou, China. As many of you know I have been a Go player for a long time, playing regularly at the Miami Go Club and very often online where you can catch a game at any level 24x7 at KGS Go Server. I am not in the same league as these top amateur players but I do enjoy the game.
The American Go Association (AGA) newsletter has been following the proceeding with many commentaries on games by Michael Redmond 9P (an American top professional player).
The USA representative to the tournament (and International Go Federation Director), Thomas Hsiang 7D placed 12th.
My friend Fernando Aguilar 7d, represented Argentina as he often does and placed 15th.
