The NUIG Go Soc announces that pictures of its recent underwater go and chess event are available for viewing on its newly created facebook page.
Last weekend saw the 6th annual UCC Go Club Tournament. In a pleasant break with tradition, there were no storms, floods, or blizzards to dampen spirits. The weather could nearly have been described as clement, if not for a spot of rain on the second day…
The venue was the Mardyke Pavilion, which was undoubtedly the best venue the tournament has seen to date. The shot below does not do it justice, although it does capture the colour coordinated chairs ^^ In the foyer, there were two go board cakes, a picture of which can be seen on the NUIG Go Soc’s latest post.
A total of 31 players took part this year; the largest ever turnout. A full table of results is available from the EGD.
It’s fair to say that the event was a resounding success. A big thanks to Justyna and the rest of the UCC Go Club committee for a job well done! It remains to be seen how they’re going to top this one next year.

The IGA has a brief post with results.
UCC Go: There has been a change in our Sunday meetings – from now on we will be meeting in the Marlboro 32 pub (on Marlboro street obviously). They’re still be on from 4PM on as that’s when the pub opens! It’s a nice and quiet place on a Sunday afternoon.
Also, only one week until the tournament!
IGA: The previously announced IGA EGM will be held on Jan 26th, during the weekend of the Top 8 Kick-Off.
NUIG Go: November’s issue of Knight’s Atari is now online.
IGoLocal: Too late to be considered news, but it seems igolocal.net will not be making a return. The sidebar link to the right has been removed.
From the Irish Go Google Group:
The 2013 Irish Go Congress will take place on the weekend of March 1st-3rd at the Teachers Club, Dublin.
More details to follow soon.
There will be no UCC Go meeting this weekend due to the Jazz Festival. Odd how Corkonian go players (native and adopted) will endure storms, floods, and blizzards to attend a go tournament, but the threat of a city full of people is enough to stop play ^^
Coincidentally, the Galway Go Soc will have an extra meeting this week. Karma and all that.
The IGA has commented on Ireland’s performance in round 2 of the Pandanet European Team Championship.
