Junior Match Against China 2020

Tournament Name
Junior-China Match
Tournament Date
Sun, 7 Jun 2020

On 7th June we started a match on KGS between twelve British youth players and a team of twelve Chinese children, "The Li Ang Go Collection Team", organised by Go teacher Li Ang in China. This will carry on for several weeks with one or two games each weekend. The format 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 British Room, with Chinese Rules and initially 40 minutes basic time, but later changed to 60 minutes plus byoyomi. The British team was selected from our list of young players, taking those who are currently active, settled in the UK and who replied to the invitation.
