The Seattle Go Center had eight competitors, all kyu players, in the Contest of Life and Death on Halloween. Frank Lam did a great job of curating problems from the Nihon Ki-in that were challenging to our kyu players, and that had a single correct first move. Kyle Burg assisted ably. Lucy Wang won the competition, with 5 out 8 problems solved on the first try. The prize was a quart of premium ice cream, which Lucy shared. There was also pumpkin pie.
