Youngest Ever MSO Go Winner

The 29th Mind Sports Olympiad (MSO) took place in its regular venue of the JW3 centre in London. As usual many games fans from around the world came to play a very varied list of games and compete to be Pentamind Champion (Natasha Regan was the Women's Pentamind runner up). Details of all MSO results are on the MSO Database.

The Go Open was held on the final day, the Bank Holiday Monday. 16 players took part, including five juniors and two players at 25k. The Gold medal went to Bende Barcza (4d Hungary), shown above, who at just 11 became the youngest ever MSO Go medal winner. The Silver went to Paco Garcia de la Banda (2d Spain) on tie-break from Scott Cobbold (4d Cambridge Uni) who took the Bronze. The junior medals went to Benda Barcza, Chun-Yin Ng and Eden Ng. Special mention went to the two young brothers from Leeds, Caleb and Joshua Fai, who both won three in the handicap section. Results Open
