2023 CONGRESS SEEKS REGISTRAR

Monday March 13, 2023

Organizers of this year’s U.S. Go Congress are searching for a Registrar.
Registrars receive a full comp to the event, which runs July 8-16 in Kent, Ohio.
“The ideal candidate would be a veteran of at least one Congress, and
comfortable with using spreadsheets and web apps such as ClubExpress,” says
Congress Director Steve Zilber. The Registrar’s job begins as soon as
registration is launched and continues until a few weeks after the Congress
ends. If interested – and for more details on what’s involved – email Zilber at
steve.zilber@gocongress.org

2023 MIDWEST OPEN SET FOR MARCH 25-26TH

Monday March 13, 2023

Calling it “One of the more exciting and fun events of the year,” local
organizers are inviting go players to join them in Columbus, Ohio from March
25-26th for the 2023 Midwest Open. “It’s a terrific place to see old friends
across the board and if you’re new to in-person tournaments, this is the
ultimate place to make new friends!” says Devin Fraze.

The Midwest Open features an Ultra Strong Master Division — 6 rounds for 16
players — and a large Main Division with players from all over the country. It’s
hosted by the Go Club at Ohio State in partnership with the Columbus Go Club,
sponsored by BadukClub, and features “rare and unique high value prizes.”

GO INTRODUCED TO CHINESE IMMERSION CLASSROOMS IN BARRINGTON, ILLINOIS.

Sunday March 12, 2023

Guo teaching third-grade classes at Barbara Rose Elementary School in Barrington
District 220, with the seed grant from National Louis University and Helping
Hand Grant from Barrington 220 Educational Foundation in January 2020.

The Barrington (IL) Chinese Immersion Council (BCIC) recently granted approval
to a proposal to introduce the game of go to Chinese immersion classrooms in
Barrington’s District 220 school district. “I hope that this game-based learning
program will not only teach students how to play go,” said Xinming “Simon” Guo,
the founder of Go and Math Academy in Chicago, who made the proposal, “but also
spark their creativity, imagination, and critical thinking skills, as well as
enhance their math abilities”

Xiaoyan Anderson and Zimin Mineo, members of the BCIC Board of Directors, say
they hope that through the program, “more families will become involved in our
organization, fostering cultural exchange and understanding, and ultimately
helping our students become future leaders with an open mind and a global
perspective.”

BCIC is a nonprofit organization created in 2014 to support students and
families involved in the local school district’s Chinese Immersion Program. The
go-related program was scheduled to begin for all third- and fourth-grade
Chinese Immersion classroom students with support from teachers Mrs. Zander and
Ms. Du during the 2022-2023 school year.

50 YEARS AGO – MARCH 1973

Saturday March 11, 2023

By Keith L. Arnold, hka, with Patrick Bannister



On March 15, Hashimoto Ūtarō 9d defeated Rin Kaihō Meijin in the first game of
the Pro Best Ten Final. Rin took the second game on March 22, and the third on
March 28. (Game Records: Game One, Game Two, Game Three)

Adachi Tadashi (pictured), President of the Nihon Ki’in, passed away on March
29.

The March issue of Kidō Magazine featured a lengthy interview with Ishida Yoshio
Hon’inbo. He patiently dealt with the usual “who do you like among the classic
players” questions. He stated he liked Shūho when he was a new pro. Ishida
opined that the classical players would quickly catch on to komi and be very
competitive. The vaunted opinion of him as “The Computer” was discussed – he
denied he makes constant calculations every move. “Frankly, I have no confidence
in my ability to calculate in a large-scale situation but in a localized
engagement I seldom make a mistake.” He also altered the perception of his
nickname, suggesting it referred to his poise and calmness as opposed to
calculation. There was a lot of discussion of his main rival Rin Meijin and
there seemed a perceptible bias against Rin from the questioning. Kidō remarked
“Strangely enough, you are the first player to say that Rin’s technique is quite
good.” Ishida pushed back against this apparent bias against the young players,
and particularly Rin – forcing Kidō to concede – if Rin was not strong he would
not be Meijin. Ishida previewed the youth dominated future, suggesting that
while players like Fujisawa Shūkō were still superior in large scale fights,
over a seven game match, Rin’s consistency, and his own, would win out.

NEW AGA WEBSITE COMING NEXT MONDAY!

Thursday March 9, 2023

Sometime this coming Monday, March 13, the AGA is moving to an all-new website.
The link will still be usgo.org but with a whole new look and feel. The current
site will still be available through an ‘Archive’ link but all membership
registration and logins will be through the new site. AGA members will be
receiving an email with instructions on how to log into the new system.

“The new system represents some great work by a lot of volunteers,” says AGA
President Gurujeet Khalsa. “There is still work to be done on some pages, but we
wanted to get the new site up and running so we can open this year’s US Go
Congress registration later in the week. We will also be rolling out a lot of
new functionality for chapters over the months leading up to the Go Congress and
conducting training at Congress as well. It is an exciting time for the AGA and
I look forward to hearing what you think!”

Send your feedback and suggestions to president@usgo.org.
