American Go E-Journal

Following a 10-year long tradition, the Evanston Go Club recently introduced go and taught to new players for more than twenty hours over two days at Anime Central in Rosemont, Illinois, reports club president Mark Rubenstein. Begun in 1998, Anime Central is an annual convention dedicated to the “appreciation, recognition, and enjoyment of Japanese tradition and culture.”  This year’s event was held May 19th-21st in the Hyatt O’Hare and the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center.  “We are confident that we have kindled the interest in go for many newcomers,” writes Mark, noting that it was now time “to get some sleep.”
