Leago creator Nick Prince has been learning, competing, teaching, and directing
tournaments since first learning about Go in 2004.
He’s served as the Vice-President of the Canadian Go Association (CGA) since 2016 and as a board member of the North American Go Federation (NAGF) since its inception. “These organizations and the AGA share a common vision,” Nick says, “to promote the spread of Go, enhance players' skills, and to make friends along the way.” Nick says the North American Online League (NAOL) is a prime example of this vison. “It’s particularly exciting to welcome our newest professional player, Michael Chen, to the review team. His insights, which I have enjoyed following on his Twitch stream, will undoubtedly enrich our league.”
Nick is also a co-founder of Leago, an innovative online tournament league platform. Leago is instrumental in orchestrating events ranging from local Go club tournaments to major events like the US Go Congress 2023. This platform is complimentary for all AGA members and is designed to streamline event management. “We are excited to partner with the AGA and Online Go Server (OGS) to make playing in the NAOL as easy as possible,” Nick says. “This was possible with a generous grant from The Iwamoto North American Foundation for Go (INAF), adding “Don't wait! Come join the NAOL to get some of the best online Go competition in North America, and meet some incredible people along the way.”
