European Go Federation and CEGO Launch Online Training for Pro Students

Published on 4/1/2014

The CEGO Online Training for European professional students has just launched. The online training is part of the Pre Pro League, part of the European Go Federation's (EGF) new contract with the CEGO Chinese investor group to establish a European professional system (European Go Federation Inks Deal With Chinese to Promote Go in Europe 7/5/2013 EJ). "This is another part of the EGF-CEGO cooperation focused on developing European professional go players," says EGF president Martin Stiassny. "I wish all the players great games with a lot of fun and success." The online training is primarily for students who have been studying in Bejing for the last six months (read more about it on Benjamin Teuber's blog), but to provide some training access for other players who will participate in the European Pro Qualification starting in Strasbourg in May the number of CEGO Online Training participants was increased to 16. An initial round was played between eight players to figure out the league division and now five series will be played with an A and B league with 6 players each. A League players include Zhao Baolong (teacher), Pavol Lisy, Ali Jabarin, Ilya Shikshin, Cornel Burzo and Andrij Kravets. In the B League are Dusan Mitic, Fredrik Blomback, Viktor Lin, Benjamin Teuber, Lukas Krämer and Zeno van Ditzhuijzen. Li Ting is the other teacher. Follow the action in the "Euro Dream Team" room on KGS, where you'll find nearly daily games (20:00 GMT+2 starting) top games, through June 20.
