Thrilling Three-Way Tie at the 2025 Belgian Blitz ChampionshipThe 22nd Belgian Blitz Championship took place today, and while the field featured only six players, the level of competition was as fierce as ever. The lineup was stacked: Belgium’s number one ranked player Lucman Bounoider, arriving with his freshly earned 4-dan rating; the reigning 2024 Blitz Champion, Olivier Drouot; and the rapidly rising new shodan, Yannick Kuy. The format followed Japanese rules: each player had 12 minutes of main time with a single 10-second byoyomi, and all games were hosted on the Online Go Server. The Drama UnfoldsEvery match was hard-fought, and when the dust settled, the top three players found themselves locked in a perfect circle of victories: Lucman (4 wins) – his only loss came against Olivier. Olivier (4 wins) – his only loss came against Yannick. Yannick (4 wins) – his only loss came against Lucman. Even the tie-breakers couldn’t separate them. With identical SOS and SODOS scores, the championship crown was shared. Final Standings1st place Olivier Drouot – 4 wins – 2025 Belgian Blitz Co-Champion! A Historic ResultFor the first time in recent memory, the Belgian Blitz Championship crowns three champions in a single year—a testament to the incredible level of play and balance among Belgium’s top competitors. Congratulations to our 2025 Belgian Blitz Champions: Olivier, Lucman, and Yannick!

NEW GO FEDERATION SITE : possibly maybeDear Go players, As planned but with a bit of delay, we have finally decided for a technical solution for a NEW BEAUTIFUL BIG GOFED WEBSITE. The project has started. It looks promising. It's not finished. We can't show it yet. What can we say about the prototype ? It's done with Symfony framework - PHP and MySQL. Hoping that this time, it will not be another political promise... :) In the meantime, have some great holidays !
