It's a really impressive elite you have in Holland!

Just out of curiosity: you say Vanderstappen doesn't have a Dutch passport, still it looks like he participates in every Dutch championship. If not citizenship, what's the formal requirement for being admitted to the national championship in the Netherlands?

cheers,
Henric

The formal requirements are:
  • Have a Dutch passport or be resident in the Netherlands for at least two years.
  • Payed up membership of the Dutch Go Association.

Same is true for the Dutch Women's Championship, which was won this year by Marika Dubiel. This was the first time she was eligible, as she has been living here for a little over two years now.

It's back to the qualifiers (in October) for me, where we will be playing for 7 spots (7 players scored less than 4 this time, so were relegated to the qualifiers). That event will be heavy going also. If the active strong players all participate, there will be two 6 dans, three 5 dans, and around ten 4 dans.


<---- and hopefully at least one 2 dan :D
