Folks, you really missed something !

Dear players,

Starting from 2012 you can access the Yunguseng Dojang programme on KGS. The BGF offers a discount for its players. Please find full information about the programme here and the information page for payments in Belgium here.

This is an intensive programme that many of us had a chance to try already, and a proof of its efficiency could be that there are so many regular students in Switzerland already.

We hope that many players will seize this opportunity to improve and have fun.

A workshop will take place on Dec. 10th and 11th (weekend) in Brussels.

Location will be precised soon. We try to find a place quiet enough and easily accessible.

The teacher will be In-Seong Hwang, Korean 7d, and official instructor in Switzerland. He's been much appreciated at the Go camp, so he proposed to innovate with a second teaching experience, in winter.

You can find his teaching program and some sample documents here.

If you want to take part, you have to pay the teaching fees before November 1st!

If we don't have enough players to organize the class, we will have to cancel, that's why we have to know soon enough, thank you for your understanding.

In-Seong Hwang is a very good teacher, and we hope many players will take the time to enjoy his lessons and improve faster thanks to him.

Hello all Belgian Go players !

It is my duty and honour to announce the intermediate results of the 2011 Interclub tournament. This year we have 3 participating clubs: Antwerpen, Gent and Leuven. Because of the low number of teams, we have decided to double the number of rounds played and have all couples of teams play both home and away.
So far, half of the rounds have been played.

Antwerpen has managed to win a game (congratulations to Dennis Wolfs). Gent has won three games so far, and current leader (and winner of the 2010 season) is Leuven.
Congratulations to all participating teams, and good luck in the next rounds !

Your interclub tournament organiser,
Robby

I have the great pleasure of announcing that many new projects are taking place with the Swiss Go Association and their Official Go instructor, In-Seong Hwang, Korean 7d. After his wonderful work (which all players highly enjoyed) at the Go camp (report and pictures), In-Seong Hwang offered to go on working with us to develop Go in Belgium.

We have so many new and entertaining projects... You can read some here in English or en français.

It is a great opportunity to grab for us!
