We had a number of strong players playing their first tournaments in Europe this year - including, of course, the tournament winner; they were all entered as 3d (i.e. above the bar) for the duration of the event, and their starting grades in the European Go Database will be determined by their results during the event. We therefore anticipate that the final results table will involve rather fewer 3d players and rather more at 4d and 5d!

The bar was at 1d. Handicap and no-komi games are in red.

The 2017 British Youth Go Championship (BYGC) featured 46 competitors, aged from 7 to 18. Thanks to a large number of oriental players currently living in the UK, there were several dan-graded players (mostly in an Open group shown "*" against age group below) and, thanks to a new club at Harpenden Academy, a group of players around 40 kyu in strength. Grades shown are estimated grades on entry.

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