Thanks a lot to everyone who participated in this year's club days and making it such a huge success. We had over 60 new members sign on this year!
I would like to stress to these new members the great opportunity this Wednesday from 4-9pm in the SLC great hall (the large foyer) where we will have a presentation on the basic rules and strategies of go as well as teaching games (this is from 4:00-4:30pm).
Also on February 4th we will be hosting a Go Tournament. There will be many members outside Waterloo who will be attending so it is a great opportunity to test yourself. Entrance to the competition will be charged for serious competitors but should be somewhere around 1-2 dollars and will go to the prizes for the winners and new equipment for the club.
Note: For newer/less experienced players, you don't need to worry about your rank and can participate in a free portion of the tournament. Although there is no prize money, it should help you understand your rank and where you need to improve.
Although many details for the tournament are still being finalized, be sure to check your availability.
Of course, as promised, here is this weeks go problem, alot harder then the last one and should be a challenge even for our high level players (5k-1k). White to kill the marked black stones.
(Hint: Cutting the group from the right is key, start with that then go for the kill) highlight to reveal.
