Life In 19x19

Does anyone know who will be attending this year?

The only competitor I know of is Ilya Shikshin.

I'm not sure, but I think Severin Hanevik is representing Norway.

then we have:
Confirmed:
Russia: Ilya Shikskshin
Costa Rica: Luis Cajiao (http://senseis.xmp.net/?LuisCajiaoCampos)

Not confirmed:
Norway: Severin Hanevik

Frank Janssen won the Dutch qualifier.

Pedantry warning! I thought that it was the Prime Minister Cup?

Best wishes.

From Ukraine: Artem Kachanovskyy

Good luck at the event! I am slightly jealous... Still, have fun.

Korea Prime Minister Cup I think?

The AGA website claims the representative is the top placing American citizen in that year's US Open. Of course that person must want to compete--it looks they've had to go down a few places in the past. But that would suggest Jie Liang or Curtis Tang (I think Eric Lui is ineligible as the previous WAGC representative).

Anyway, glad to see there's such strong reps from Ukraine and Russia. Perhaps we'll see them crack the top four.

from Croatia: Vedran Vasiljevic, 2d

Is there a website anywhere?

Does the KPMC cover any travel costs?

They did in 2008, at least.

As far as I am informed, it covers the plane ticket.
