Very sad news: Go Seigen passed away today :(

Post by Erythen »

I haven't seen it mentioned yet on the forum. Go Seigen passed away today at the age of 100.

One of the greatest players of Go is gone. He will be sorely missed!

It was in Announcements. Much too important to be just General Go Chat.
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).

Agreed. I didn't think to post (or check) there.
