Professionals

Many professional go players will attend the 2011 European Congress in Bordeaux.

  • Many pros (and some strong amateurs) will be here to share a bit of their knowledge through lessons, or game commentaries (especially of the top tables in the main tournament), or sometimes game commentaries of your own games (remember to use a Kifu to record your games!). The exact scope of each pros activity will depend on their availability and schedules.
  • In addition to the pros listed below, 2 teams will come for a very special occasion: an official round of the Chinese League! It is a team competition, of a very high level, taking place during the course of each years, in Chine. 2 teams (those of Shanghai and Xi-an), made of some of the best Chinese professionals (Chang Hao 9p! and many others) will play their round at the 2011 EGC!

  • And of course some pros will simply be here to enjoy the EGC, its people, places, ambiance, region, etc.
