BRITISH GO JOURNAL Editor: ANDREW DALY NUMBER 15 Autumn 1971 European Congress held in Bristol The 15th European Congress was held in Badock Hall, Bristol University, fron 2ist August to th Septender. This was the first time the European Congress had been held in Britain since the London Congress in 1966, and we were pleased to have not only the strongest entry ever for a European Congress, bet also the honour of entertaining the Lord Mayor of Bristol, who opened the Congress. Of the 4I con- petitcrs, 31 were of Ist kyu and higher strength, although most of the strongest German players could not cone. The main event, the European Individual Championship, was won, as expected, by Zoran MutabzZi ja of Yugoslavia, the 1967 champion. He lost only to Henk de Vries, of Holland, who cane second. Another Dutch player, Max Pebattu, was third. The ‘Master Tournament! for 2-dan players was won very impressively by Robert Rehn, also from Holland. The team trophy is awarded on the basis of the results of the best three players from each country, and these three players made up the winning Dutch tean, We have to look at the lower tournaments to see a strong challenge fron the hone team. Tony Cooper lost the ‘Master Candidates’ - | dan and | kyu ~ tournament on a tie-break. This very close competition was won by Barigic of Yugoslavia, but also in with a chance near the end were Kiehl from Munich and Jin Bates from London, Francis Roads won 'Zone |' = 2 kyu to 5 kyu - only losing one game, and Geoff Briggs won 'Zone 2! - 7 and & kyu. The handicap tournanent proved by far the most successful ever held at a Euro- pean Congress, as more than 120 games were played. The first prize, for the most 's, went to John Allen of Edinburgh, with 12 out of 17. The second and third prizes were awarded on percentage results, and went to van Zanten (10/11) and Ivan Young (9/12) respectively. Other entertainnents included two lightning tournaments, discussion of pro- fessional games, and a showing of the Expo '70 Go Film, made by Nihon Kiin, and brought to Europe by Stuart Dowsey. Detailed results are given on pages 14 and 15. ALL CORRESPONDENCE To DEREK HUNTER, Secretary, BRITISH GO ASSOCIATION, 90 WANTAGE ROAD, READING, BERKS.

Fair Stewart Culin, who was a great expert on Oriental ganes, points out in one of his books that the nine points on the Go board used for handicap stones represent, 2according to traditional Chinese sources, the sun and the moon together with the seven stars of ‘the constellation Tae.

He started the yeer by a succecstet defence of his Nihon Kiin Championship. He has since firmly established hinsel? as the current leader of professional Go by beating Rin to take the lloninbo title, and four days later winning the decisive match of the Professional Best Ten final series against Kajiwara, 9 dan. Ishida is known among the professionals as 'the computer', and specialises in half-point winning margins. Even the professionals were impressed by his confidence in announcing this margin in the decisive 6th gane of the Honinbo series, which he won to take the series He caused more coment, perhaps, by the way he lost one of the ganes of the Pro jest Ten final. Kajiwara, playing White, had just captured a ko, and Ishida, after due thought, recaptured it and went to close the door, as It wae becoming cold, Much to his regret, forhe was looking forward to the ko fight, Ka.iwara was awarded the game and Ishida disqualified for breaking the rules of Go! Nevertheless he cane back to win the series by 3-2. Reading Go Club Reading Go Club have recently completed their first Lightning Tournament, which attracted considerable interest in the local press. It was playee with tine’ limi te of 10 minutes each, plus 10 seconds byoyoni, but with increased handicaps, since fast play favours the'stronger player. Handicaps of 2 to W stones were Increased by one stone, and larger handicaps by two. In spite of this, jist over half the games were won by White. 7 The winner was Andrew Daly. Woodford Go Club Woodford are proposing to hold another one-day Congress on 30th January, to follow up the success of the one held in June. Details are available from the club secretary. Francis Roads has started a youth section of the club, which meets at his house fon Wednesday afternoons. The monbers are aged about 8-13. Woodford-Reading Match In a match played on 26th November at London Go Club between Feading and Wood- ford Go Clubs, Reading won 4 games, Woodford 2 and claimed 2 more by default to tie the match.Pro Play by Takagawa, 9-dan The, study of professional ganes can teach us katachi and give vs am insione inte strategy and tactics at the highest level. in sticying's'plofees ont) att eyiageta ale thlnk deably aboul! the moves; and this can beet be ache gt Tying to play the gane fron memory without Ieoking at the veceraieg 27h difficult task. * : a Example: The diagram shows a position fron a ame ‘between Fujisawa Hosa! sid Sugiuchiy both professional S-dent Looking af the board we see that Bleck has a large area of ‘influence on the upper side, and that both glayers have weak groups on the left. vide, Whiters group, however, Is weaker than “slacks, because It’ ig nese’ the Black ‘thickness above.

Following the tradition established at the first three British Go Association Congresses, the system for performing the draw at the fourth (Leeds) Consree woe different fron anything that had gone before. qhe McMahon system is a modification of the Swiss system used throughout the Chess world. It is designed to: J. allow all players to take part in a single even-game tournanent, 2. produce an overall winner, 3, utilise the known dan and’kyu ratings of the competitors. in the Swiss system, it is assumed that everyone is of approximately the sane standard, and, at each round, players who have won the sane number of games are paired together. f this system were used in Go, there would Initially be the {25° of dan Players engaging beginners in even ganes, but after seversl rouse (20 2) ithe players would be sorted into an order corresponding to thelr oredect The McMahon system is roughly equivalent to the Swiss system with. thee rounds replaced by the established grading system. Working the System qhe players are placed in classes which correspond with their grades, so that ghodan is class 0, other dan grades are positive, and kyu grades negatives frat 2 dan is +1, 1 kyu -1, 2 kyu Is -2, etc. Whenever'a player wins a gone, he is pro moted one class: when he loses, he is demoted one class, The tournanent organiser can prepare the draw for the next round as soon as he has ithe results from the previous round. The players’ classes are adjusted as the fesults cone in and the players sorted into their new classes. when all the reeul te are in, the general shape of the draw can be worked out, using simple aritneet te qhhes te decide how many in each class should play people in the next lace une The individual p ‘ted into this general shape, subject to the following constraints, which are in order of importance: |. Wo player to have more than one bye. 2, No two players to meet more than twice. 3. The general shape calculated previously to be adhered to. 4. No two players to meet more than once. 5. No two players from the same club to me During the later rounds the last two constraints are liable to be broken fairly frequently. Advantages of the System I. If is easy. This is not obvious when trying to explain it, or to understand it from a written explanation, but, after making a few practice draws, mast people should get the hang of it fairly quickly. Using a card for each player, when trying to make the draw, is a great help.2. It Is quick. Two people can produce the next draw within ten minutes of receiving the last result. 3. It is fair. The draw practically runs itself. dvantages and Suggested Amendments At the Leeds Congress, a few people complained about the way the systen was working. At the time the only anewer given was that we were sorry but that was how ‘the system worked. Sone elaboration is given he A | kyu player who wants promotion to shodan must play against dan players. A cage occurred at the Congress of a | kyu player who played against other kyu players and a 3 dan. 2. Players at the lower end of the scale often had to play people from their own clubs or to meet the same opponent twice. This could be remedied by making the classes at this end of the scale cover more than one grade, since these people would often rather play handicap ganes anyway. 3. The competition for the top prizes turned out to be rather too much of a two-horse race. Starting all the dan players at class 0 would mean that nore and 2 dan players would have to be beaten before the contenders finally emerged. This change would also help the | kyu players. Editor's Note: These suggestions wil! be adopted for the 1972 Congress af Woodford. The system will also be chenged to reduce the violence of the random fluctust ions which led to some considerable mismatches of Leeds 00D NOTES ON 60 J.T. Fairbairn Here is a useful hint from the famous IIth century classic, Tale of Genji, for Go players whose wives or girl friends don't see eye to eye on spending so mich time on Go. It is a game called Rango, played only by women in the Helan period, which involves balancing the greatest’ number of stones possible on one finger. However, the status of women was not quite the sane then as now, perhaps, since ‘the same novel tells us how Prince Kaoru won the hand of an enperor's daughter = reluctantly - by defeating the emperor in a game of Go.ANSHERS 1.
