Re: EGC 2020 on Hold

As the leadership of Ukrainian Go Federation is notoriously not very good at sharing information with public, I'll try to help here. Although, I have no relation to EGC 2020 organization whatsoever and any possible opinions are my own.

On April 11th there was a list from EGF President Martin ...
