  • October 2010
    Issue 7 ­ October 2010 The Editorial Dear Readers, This is a colourful issue, with more games than usual thanks to John Gibson's dilligence. Coming up soon (November the 3rd) will be the IGA's Annual General Meetin ­ an event which I know is dear to all your hearts, but we will actually have some important things to talk about! Recently the IGA submitted a motion to the European Go Federation's Annual General Meeting asking for the rise in the minimum membership fee to 200 euros to be repealed. This motion was defeated by 12 votes to 6, with 3 abstentions. This brings to a head some serious financial issues for our organisation. The IGA absolutely cannot afford a 200 euro fee every year, which we will have no choice but to pay in 5 years time. This leaves us with a choice, remain in the EGF and raise more money, or leave the EGF and save money which we can spend on ourselves. Contents ­ Online Interprovincials ­ Review: LittleGolem server ­ Game Review: Ian Davis ­ Anthony Durity ­ BGA League Report ­ WAGC round up, 3 games from John Gibson, with review by Wei Wang ­ Belfast Open Report Online Interprovincial Tournament September saw the return of the Interprovincials, with new longer time limits supposedly signalling an increase in the serious of the competition (Ed. You couldn't tell from my games.) Munster had given their entire team from last year the sack, and fielded an all new squad against Ulster. This fresh young talent performed well in their handicap games and won the day.

The Stage 3 planned for July 2020, connected with European Go Congress 2020, had to be cancelled. The future of international face-to-face go tournaments heavily depends on safety of international travelling. Therefore, the International Organizing Team decided that the rest of the SEYGO Tour 2020 will be organized as a series of online tournaments using the “SEYGO Knock-Out System”: Stage 3: SEYGO Ukraine, July 2020 Stage 4: SEYGO Croatia, August 2020 Stage 5: SEYGO Austria, October 2020 Stage 6: SEYGO Switzerland, November 2020 Stage 7: SEYGO Masters, December 2020 NOTE: If the situation with international travelling within Europe is normalized, the Stage 4 will be held as a face-to-face tournament during the 2nd International Summer Go Camp in Zaostrog, 3-10 Aug 2020. Format of online tournaments – general rules 1) The games will be played on Online Go Server, Japanese rules, basic time: 60 minutes + 3x30 seconds Japanese byoyomi. A separate document “SEYGO Tour 2020 Guide” explains the handling of the Online Go Server in more detail. 2) Games will be played “one round per day”, generally from Tuesday to Sunday for a 6-rounds event, with a predefined starting time (generally at 20:00 CEST).

  • Go Population Survey
    GO POPULATION SURVEY 2016 FEBRUARY Introduction This survey was designed to acquire a holistic view of worldwide Go populations and demographics. This information shall assist the IGF in making policy decisions in promoting the game in the future. All IGF members (national/territorial associations of Go) were asked to answer the questions using their data or best estimations. Some of the questions, such as “Estimated number of people who are aware of Go”, required a rough estimation based on each association’s experiences and knowledge since there was no data to suggest a specific number. Questions included in the survey were as follows: § Number of players who registered with your association at least once (ever) § Number of members who paid membership fee at least once (ever) § Number of members who paid membership fee at least once in last 3 years § Estimated number of people who know what "Go" is. (When they hear the name, do they know it's a board game, etc.?) § Estimated number of people who know at least basic rules of Go (Spent at least 1 hour in their life time to learn about Go) § Estimated number of people who play Go casually (online, with friends, in clubs, etc.) § Estimated number of people who play in Go tournaments play in Go tournaments at least once a year § Trend of number of new members in the last 5 years § Trend of number of players who paid membership fee in the last 5 years § Trend of number of players who played in tournaments in the last 5 years § Estimated percentage of female players among all Go players § Estimated percentage of players under 18 § Estimated percentage of players of 1 dan or stronger § Estimated percentage of players with profession or major in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics) § In which age group do you estimate to have the most players? *All questions were regarding each association’s geographical region including any immigration communities.
