The European Go Congress has its own video (worksafe) , which is presumably commissioned from a (sort of) PR firm.
It consists essentially of
0-23 women in bikini swimming in one of the pools available at the resort where the congress will be held.
24-43 cleaner in hotel finding a room full of go stones.
44-59 woman in bikini finding a stones flooding out of locker.
60-End stones flooding out of the resort.
Is it:
A fun way to show the facilities on offer in the resort
Sexist rubbish
A clever play on Czech history
bound to increase attendance at the EGC
bound to gain publicity for the EGC
What do you think about this publicity video?

I don't know enough about Czech history to comment on that one, but otherwise, yes!

Seems like an awful waste of a lot of clam shells.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

I haven't seen any movie in almost 20 years.

Reminds me: The Shining - Elevator Scene (might be nsfw).
I'm not really fond of this ad. It doesn't have any Go-content. But the first point is true.

Master Hwang In-seong watched the film and showed us two very interesting tsumego problems in his yesterday lecture.xed_over wrote:DrStraw wrote:Seems like an awful waste of a lot of clam shells.

[Start of the new season of Yunguseng Dojang.]
East Asia movies tend to be quite martial
Don't expect a historical correct documentation about the history of Go or something like that. It's blood everywhere .. like in real life
Nonetheless it seems good entertainment. And it even has those two tsumego problems.
Cheers,
