Wang Ma 6d topped a field of 36 players ranging from 20 kyu to 6 dan at the Massachusetts Go Association's annual Don Wiener Memorial Tournament on April 13 in Somerville MA. "Among the players were a visitor from Scotland, a visiting scholar from China, and contingents from Vermont, Maine, and Western Massachusetts," reports TD Eva Casey.
