Yue Wu 3d of Houston, TX took first place in the dan division at the Houston Fall Go Tournament held on November 9. “Twenty five players from all over the state (including Waco, Killeen, Dallas, and Saledo near Austin) joined us,” reports Houston Go Club president Robert Cordingley. Players were asked to fill out a written survey so that the club could improve future tournaments. Survey respondents seemed to like the venue and the one-day format, with one of the only problems cited being, “No Heineken.” A prize purse of over $600 was awarded to players in three divisions.
