We are setting off to the Go camp in the Crimea mountains

Every year children from our Go club «Voskhojdenie» go to the Crimea mountains with the club’s director Igor Grishin. They play Go, go uphill, enjoy the views. This year the Go-trip will start on June, 12. During this trip the Go tournament will be held at the «Rybachye» village. It will take place on June, 17-18.

Russian Style of Go

We usually carry out experiments with Go-game, because the principles of Go should work in our daily life. Maybe sometimes it is like a joke, maybe :)

But i think these photos express a really interesting vision of Go Game style! In Russia we play Go like that, and we like this style.

What would you say about it?
