Highlights 4: The kinship combination starts the family league
Fuzhou kinship amateur go invitational tournament will start on September 25. 8 pairs of kinship chess players will decide the championship and runner-up in one day through single elimination.
It is understood that the kinship competition is based on family units, with mothers and children forming a partner group for competition. The participating groups are based on the lady Go salon players. At the same time, they are recommended by district and county associations, training institutions, and clubs to conduct preliminary selection and decision to determine the 8 combinations during the Wuqingyuan Cup.
"Relationship" is similar to Wu Qingyuan's name, and the kinship competition has the meaning of playing kinship with each other. Wu Qingyuan's Cup competition is a single fight, and the kinship competition tests each other's cooperation. Wu Qingyuan's pursuit of chess art has reached the extreme in chess skills, and is the only one who is the only one who is the only one who is in the personal competition. However, he pursues peace throughout his life, and proposed that the highest level of Go is "neutrality" and the supreme pursuit of kinship fusion.
In the future, Fuzhou will also hold related events such as the Park Go Culture Festival, the Go Championships for Primary and Secondary School Students, to continue the popularity of Go and create a never-ending Go event.
