Korea Wins Pair Go Championships; US is 15th

Sunday November 4, 2012

The Korean Pair Go team of Jang Yun Jeong and Lee Hoseung swept to victory in the 23rd International Pair Go Championships, held over the weekend in Tokyo, Japan.  Japanese pairs dominated the rest of the top-ten finishers, with only two other countries placing; Chinese Taipei in 8th and Russia in 10th. The U.S. team of Amy Su and Lionel Zhang was 15th, edged by the Thailand pair in 14th, while European Pair Go champs Klara Zaloudkova and Jan Hora were 17th.

Note: the Chinese team was unable to participate at the last moment, so their last-place result is because of forfeits, not on-the-board losses.
