Повідомлення Dmitriy »

Dear Go Associations in Europe,

The 2020 World Amateur Women's Go Championship (WAWGC) 2020 will be taken place in Tokyo in the beginning of May 2020, which was formally approved at the IGF general meeting.

We, the Nihon Ki-in, will be the organiser of the above championship. For your information, attached please find the outline of the above Championship.

We would like to know if your country can send your player to the above Championship or not.

The reason why we would like to ask you is because it will be definitely not a normal condition in Tokyo from May 2020, due to the Summer Olympic Game 2020 in Tokyo.
We would like to book roughly number of rooms of a hotel for players as early as possible.
Accordingly, we would like to ask you for the following two questionnaires:

1. Name of your country and Go Association:

2. Please choose one (A, B or C) from the followings:

A. Our country will send our player to the WAWGC 2020

B. Our Country will seek a player but not sure or no guarantee to send a player to the WAWGC 2020.

C. It seems difficult to send a female player from our country.

We would highly appreciate it if you can reply us by the end of this month, 30th September.

Look forward to hearing from you soon!

Best regards,

T. Urasoe

Дмитро Олександровичу, ось викладена ця інформація, а що з нею робити? Чи є якесь розуміння умов поїздки? І коли все ж українські дівчата мали б визначитись: за текстом листа - до 30 вересня, а викладений пост - 2 жовтня? Чи це просто формату відкритого запитання: а хто з вас, дівчата, мовляв, хоче та може собі дозволити таку поїздку до Японії?

Dear ALL,

Please be informed that Cancellation of the 2020 World Women's Go Championship (WAWGC) was determined due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
Today, in the afternoon, the Nihon Ki-in board of director's meeting was held and discussed about whether to cancel or postpone the international Go tournaments that were planned to take place in Japan.

The WAWGC was planned from 1 till 8 May before the 2020 Summer Olympic Game in Tokyo.
However, we are obliged to cancel the above tournament due to the uncertainty of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

Please cancel your air ticket as soon as possible if you already booked or purchased it.
We will reimburse you the cancellation fee for your air ticket upon our receipt of the evidence of your payment for the above cancellation fee.
For more and further details, we will inform you by the weekend.

We kindly ask for your understanding our decision.

Сьогодні відбувся перший тур Чемпіонату світу серед жінок 2020. Турнір проходить онлайн на сервері Wbaduk в японській кімнаті.
Представниця від України Симоненко Вікторія зустрілась з Alison Bexfield з Великобританії. Рівень гри британки був вищий на 8 розрядів, тому треба було чудо щоб її здолати. На жаль його не сталось, але є але.
Регламент туру надзвичайно жорсткий. Японці застосували метод боротьби з чітерством який дозволяє перемогти будь-кого, не зважаючи на рівень.
Вони примусили грати бліц.
Перші хвилини основного часу учасниці грають в темпі 30 сек. на хід, далі по 20 сек. на хід. Тут вже не до підказок... але й змістовною гру не назвеш.
Дивне рішення ((
