Dimitris Reggions got the 48th position out of 68 contestants. Dimitris managed to win all the games against the shodan players he was matched with and lost from 4 and 5 dan players. This is considered a great success and we congratulate Dimitris for representing Cyprus so well!!

Congratulations to Dimitris, the first Cypriot shodan Go player!

Two more rounds before the completion of the 27th WAGC. Dimitris won against the Portuguese representative (shodan) and lost from the Danish representative (4 dan) today. So far Dimitris won against both shodan players he played against. Tomorrow he will be facing the representative from Luxembourgh, who is also a shodan player.

We wish Dimitris good luck, and we look forward to his report as soon as he returns!!!
