Junior Match Against Hong Kong 2024

On 9th November we started a fourth match on KGS between eight British youth players and a team of eight Chinese children from Hong Kong Children's Go College. This will carry on for several weeks with usually two games each weekend at 09:00 each day. The format, as in the other matches, is that of last team standing, like the former China-Japan Supergo Matches, with the winner of each game staying on. The games are played online in the KGS British Room, with Chinese Rules with 30 minutes main time + 3 x 30 seconds byoyomi and komi is 7.5 points. The British team was selected from our list of young players, taking those who were active, settled in the UK and who replied to the invitation. The HK team plays under username "hkteam".
