1) 2016 Winter Go Soiree this Sunday, February 21 Noon-5 p.m.
This is the club's quarterly go event at my home that has drawn 30-40 players in the recent past.... from beginners to 7P pros. Everyone, including spectators, is invited. While AGA self-paired games can be played, AGA membership is not necessary to just play a pick-up game or get a lesson. The club gets to show off its expensive thick kaya boards and slate and shell stones, as well as allows people to peruse and borrow from the 200+ books and magazines in the go library. Drop in any time from noon to 5 p.m. at which time pizza will be served to those who want to hang around and socialize.
Please preregister at
goclubs.org
for this FREE (sponsored by my wife's State Farm Insurance agency) event so I know how many boards, stones and pizzas to to have ready. Drink preferences and directions are available there also.
FREE rides for UCSD students are available.
Pair go games will be encouraged in preparation for the May tournament.

2) Southern California Go Championship March 5 & 6
This is the second largest annual go tournament in southern California with lots of players of all ranks and lots of prizes. This year, I will not be going as I had already made a commitment to teach go at the Cherry Blossom Festival (See 3), but the club has been well represented for several years. The tournament is in Anaheim this year... an hour closer than previous years.
Event will be held in Ramada Plaza Hotel Anaheim, one block from Disneyland.
Ramada Plaza Hotel 515 W Katella Ave, Anaheim CA 92802
$3,000 Total cash award, $700 to open section winner

4) LA Korean Go Club
The Korean Go Club in LA (on Olympic Blvd) sponsored an invitation go event on Sunday.... 11 AGA players versus Korean club members. The AGA barely won a majority of the games during the two rounds. A lecture was given by a 9P professional from Korea which was followed by simultaneous exhibitions by him and Mark Lee (10-dan winner of the 2016 San Diego Go Championship). A hosted Korean dinner followed.
The Korean club said that it would sponsor an event every two month. News will be posted here in April.

5) Pair go tournament May 2016
A pair go tournament will be held here in San Diego in May. Time to find a partner of the opposite gender. There will at least $500 in prizes.
