After the initial plan to hold the European Student Go Championship in Luxembourg was unfortunately aborted, we are pleased to announce that the 2025 European Student Go Championship will now take place on October 11-12th in the historical city of Durham in the UK! 🇬🇧

More specifically, the playing site will be the splendid University of Durham, and many activities are planned to make the tournament not only a go challenge, qualifying for the World student go OZA championship in Japan, but also a journey through history, full of discoveries and social moments.

You can already read more and register on the website: https://durhamgo.club/esgc2025/ 

Take note: 3 players will be able to qualify for the international student championship in Japan.

If you're hesitating, please don't hesitate! 😬. How many chances will you have in your life to discover such a place with the local players and potentially qualify for a major event in Japan?

If you're still hesitating, please check a map or take a walk on streetviews to feel the vibe of the city.

If that's still not enough, maybe you can watch Harry Potter once more...?

If you're sad about not being a student, which is now very likely, ...hum..sorry! But you can spare potential players the sadness of missing the event, just share the news!

Many thanks to the British Go Association and Durham Go club for accepting this challenge of hosting the student championship.__PRESENT
