Pair Go Championships
The Pair Go Championship is divided into two categories - the Open Pair Go Championship and the Pair Go Handicap Championship. The Open Championship this year attracted a particularly large number of strong pairs owing to the many strong visiting players - amateur and professional - from China, Japan, Korea and the US. After two days of competition, Fan Yunfang 4d/Chen Zhaonian 7d defeated Barbara Knauf 3d / Zhang Tao 5p in the final to become the Open Pair Go Champions. In the handicap category, Yoon Youngsun 8p / Zion Kim 17k secured their victory after defeating their opponent, Jasna Medak 20k / Robert Medak 7k.

Computer Go and Lecture on Alphago
Another highlight was without a doubt the artificial intelligence related go events. This year Fan Hui 2p gave several educational, yet entertaining, lectures on Alphago games and shared the results of his study with us.
In a separate event, guests professional players were invited to play against computer go programs. Ohashi Hirofumi 6p lost against DeepZen and Li Ting 1p defeated LeelaX, defending the honour of humanity.
