The 2008 European Go Congress

By jaguarondi the 29/07/2008


 


Winner of the 2008 open european go championship is (expectfully) one

of the 7-d Coreans.


Winner of this edition is Park Jong Wook, only player with 9 victories.

2nd is another 7-d Corean, and 3rd the Taiwanese competitor, Lai Yu-

Cheng (who ended 2nd in the 2004 WAGC and 5th in the 2007 WAGC).


The best European player is Catalin Taranu (5-p) from Romania, who

ended as 6th with 7 victories, just one litlle SOS-point ahead of

Alexander Dinerstein (3-p), and 4 SOS-points ahead of the other Russian

favourite and winner last year, Ilya Chikchine.


Our Corean guest, Kim Jung Hyeop, made pretty good with 8 victories

(among wich one against Dinerstein)!


The results of the participating Belgian were rather good.

In particular, Thomas Connor did very well as 2-d with 7 victories, and

is now promoted to 3-d level. Congratulations to him !
