The 2008 Philadelphia Cherry Blossom Go Tournament


The Penn Go Society held its first annual AGA-rated spring Go tournament at the University of Pennsylvania, on Sunday, March 30, 2008. The tournament was organized and directed by Peter Nassar. R. Zhao, 6-dan, took tied for first place with x. x, both players sporting an amazing 4-0 record. Special thanks go to Bill Cobb at Slate and Shell, who donated a number of books for the kyu-level prizes, to all our friends who helped us set-up and break-down the event, and to all the parents donated their time and brought their kids out to play!
