Lee Se-tol retires !South Korean Go master Lee Sedol, widely considered as one of the greatest Go players of the modern era and only human to score a win against AlphaGo, announced his retirement. Lee, 36 years old, had started playing Go when he was six years old and has turned professional in 1995. In a career spanning 24 years, Lee scored 18 victories in global competitions and 32 wins in local events. He declared his retirement was primarily motivated by the invincibility of AI Go programs.

Jan Ramon wins 2019 Brussels tournamentJan Ramon triumphed unbeaten in the 2019 edition of our Brussels tournament. The big surprise was the 2nd place by Sven Cuyts (1k), who won against two 3d and two 2-d competitors ! Dick Riedeman (3d), best player with 3 wins by the SOS tie-breaker, completed the podium. Beside Sven, 4 (other) participants got 4 wins: Kenny Debacq, Ondrej Skacel (from...Czechia) en two members of Riedeman's family. Congratulation to them !
