Obituaries

Over the years the British Go Association has marked with sadness the passing of some of its members and of some famous players from overseas with published obituaries. These obits are listed below with links to the appropriate news item or British Go Journal (article or pdf edition). Some members, whose deaths were not commemorated by a detailed obituary, are not included.

We also have a memorial page for some of those for whom we have photos.
