“GOAMA”, The International Go Newsletter

Posted on 04.04.2006 by Администратор

Individuality is the main achievement of the European civilization.
We are playing Go, not like common people. We created The Go Federation in Russia in 2004. We did it because there is a big difference between our Federation and other Go organizations and communities around the world. We changed our life a lot, after we had started to play Go. Go gives us different possibilities to use in the real life. We are the members of Go family – the family of amateurs and Go masters.

I am glad to say, that this newsletter, with Mr. Alexandre Dinerchtein, as the editor in chief, gives us new ideas. By reading this newsletter, we will get a chance to make acquaintance with each other, and I believe that you will not be disappointed.

Somebody asked me: “What is the goal of this newsletter?”
I answered: “What is the goal of playing Go? To win the game?
For me it’s a pleasant journey. The same as the newsletter”.
