Twenty nine players got in a nice day of face-to-face go at the November monthly ratings tournament this past Saturday in Palo Alto, CA. The highest-ranked player was a 10-year-old 5-dan visiting from China. Aaron Ye 3d led the dan division with four wins and no losses, and Larry Qu 5k led the kyu division, also with four wins and no losses. Justin Shieh 4d, Kersam Liu 2d, Jay Chan 3k, Kfir Dolev 3k, Sile Chen 4k, Roger Schrag 5k, Eric Tran 7k, and Ciaran Fitzgerald 19k picked up three wins apiece. “We signed up seven new AGA members and got three expired members to renew their AGA membership,” reports tournament organizer Roger Schrag. Next month’s Bay Area Go tournament will take place December 11 in Menlo Park, CA. Photo by Lisa Schrag
