UK Tournament Result

The 2018 British Youth Go Championship (BYGC) featured 57 competitors, aged from 5 to 18. This year, due to an easing of the qualifying rules, there were no non-British players in an open group. There were two minibuses from Cheadle Hulme School and groups from two new clubs. 15 players, ranked 34k to 40k, played in their own section, in a 5-round tournament on 13x13 boards.

The venue again this year was King Edward VI School in Aston, Birmingham.
