\n\nGranpa Frog, who is an official member of the Gomagic group on the OGS, is holding an unofficial July (2023) Gomagic \"Vulgarity\" tournament.
\n\n\nAs my spiritual mentor Rie Rasmussen says: \"Darling! Don't confuse Claude Monet and Edouard Manet. It's vulgar!\" I'm sure that no matter how well you play go, you sometimes act vulgar, that is, confuse these painters. Drink your painkillers, now we're going to surgically correct your flaws. Hehe.
\n\nÉdouard Manet was a French painter, master of etching, who was at the origins of Impressionism. The paintings of Édouard Manet, who rid painting of academic clichés, remained misunderstood for a long time.
\n\nDuring Manet's lifetime, the public was not ready to accept his world view, as well as the creative views of the artist's associates Camille Pissarro, Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Pierre Renoir and Frédéric Basil. It seems unbelievable now, but the first exhibition of the reformist painters failed miserably.
\n \nThe first painting with which Edouard Manet enters contemporary art life in Paris was the famous Breakfast on the Grass, which appeared in the Salon des Outcasts in 1863.
\n\nThe scandal that erupted around \"Breakfast on the Grass\" was unparalleled. The same thing happened again with \"Olympia\" in 1865. Both paintings were in the spotlight and subjected to ridicule, ostracism in the press, which is not shy in expressions, called the artist and his characters. But the plot of \"Breakfast on the Grass\" is really incomprehensible. On the one hand depicts an absolutely mundane scene: at that time it became customary to go on a weekend picnic, often on the banks of the Seine. The Impressionists would produce many paintings on this theme, including Georges Seurat's famous Grand Jatte.
\n\nThis custom of certain segments of Parisian society developed quite a long time ago. But viewers were puzzled by Manet's portrayal of the picnic, and could never find an unambiguous explanation. It hasn't been found until now, because it simply doesn't exist. The first thing that surprised was the completely naked woman in the foreground in the company of two dressed men, one of whom is pointing his hand at her, or maybe not at her, dressed not in modern fashion, but in the fashion of an earlier time.
\n\nIn the background is a body of water, which is wonderfully painted: the artist paints the water and the landscape with great skill. And there, bent over, stands another half-naked woman. It is impossible to explain why he joins such a group here.
\n\nThe naked woman is a favorite model of Manet, which will be the heroine of many paintings. She will also appear in \"Olympia\" - Victorine Meuran. She was a professional model, it painted not only Manet. She attracted artists with her unusual appearance, but she did not end very happily: she tried to become an artist herself, began to paint and even a little bit of exhibition, but drugs and alcohol ended her life.
\n\nIn Breakfast on the Grass, those features of Manet's work mentioned above already appear. The group in the foreground goes back to a painting by Raphael, which has not survived, but was very well known from an engraving by Raimondi. And the female figure in the background goes back to one of Leonardo da Vinci's images. This resemblance was immediately revealed, and reproaches began immediately against the artist for lack of imagination. In these visual, precisely visual, rather than semantic formulas, Manet squeezes modern life.
\n\nClaude Monet, the French painter credited with inventing one of the most fascinating art movements of the 19th century, created an enormous number of incredible paintings. During his nearly 70-year career, Claude Monet (life years 1840-1926) created about 2,500 works of art, and all the while he diligently adhered to the ideals of the Impressionist art movement.
\n\nIt was because of his painting describing the sunrise in the port of Le Havre that the new artistic movement would later be so called.
\n\nMonet also painted his version of Breakfast on the Grass, which unfortunately has not survived in its original form. But you can find it online.
\n\nThere will be no scandals, intrigues or investigations at this tournament. I want calm, peace and goodness, although it never happens that way anywhere.
\n\nAnd now for the nice part. Each participant of this unofficial tournament will receive an unofficial prize - a Chinese Go book in electronic form.
\n\nSomething about the rules. Please note that each turn adds 1 day to your time, but no more than 3 days. Time is suspended on weekends. This means that you must make one move per day.
\n\nRespectfully,
\n\nP.S. Friends, an unprecedented event in the monthly unofficial Gomagic tournaments! Cash prizes will start appearing in tournaments. Most likely from this tournament already. Prizes for the first three prize winners and for everyone who could play to the end of the tournament. Keep an eye on this tournament description. There will be an official announcement in the coming days. \"Aaaaaaaaaaah, we've made it, brothers and sisters!\" cries Grandpa Frog scary!

\nGrandpa Frog, who is a member of the GoMagic group on the OGS, is hosting the September (2024) \"Russian painters???\" tournament with the help of GoMagic .
\n\nAs is widely known in the narrow circle of people who have eyes, Russia is famous all over the world for its painting. Russia has given the world a significant number of great and world famous painters. Here are some of the world famous Russian painters.
\n\nIvan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky, great Russian painter and graphic artist, one of the most famous Marinists of the 19th century, collector and patron of art. Painter of the Chief Naval Staff (from 1844), full Privy Counselor. Academician (since 1845), professor (since 1847) and honorary member (since 1887) of the Imperial Academy of Arts; honorary foreign member of a number of art societies of European countries. He is actually Armenian Hovhannes Ayvazyan (Հովհանննես Այվազյան).
\n\n\n Aivazovsky's painting Stormy sea at night,1849. \n \n\nIsaak Levitan, a great Russian painter and draftsman, one of the greatest and most prolific masters of realistic landscape painting of the second half of the 19th century. Academician of the Imperial Academy of Arts (1898). In fact, he is a Jew.
\n\n\n Painting by Levitan Birch Grove, 1885-1889 \n \n\nYuli Yulievich Klever, a great Russian painter. Recognized as a landscape painter of salon-academic style. Academician (1878) and professor (1881) of the Imperial Academy of Arts. He is in fact, a German (Julius Sergius von Klever).
\n\n\n Painting by Klever Winter Sunset (Winter Evening), 1897 \n \n\nArkhip Ivanovich Kuindzhi, great Russian painter, master of landscape painting, representative of the Russian school of luminism. He is in fact, a Greek (Αρχίπ Κουίντζι).
\n\n\n Painting by Kuindzhi Evening in Ukraine, 1878 \n \n\nIvan Ivanovich Shishkin, a great Russian painter, draftsman and printmaker, one of the main masters of realistic landscape of the second half of the XIX century. And he is, surprise surprise, Russian!
\n\n\n Painting by Shishkin Rye, 1878 \n \n\nIf you have a question as to how this happened, there is a simple answer. Russia has always been a multinational country. People of different nationalities lived and successfully engaged in creative work in it. All of them were considered Russian. This is how they are known all over the world, as great Russian painters.
\n\nAnd now about pleasant things, about prizes! First of all, each participant of this unofficial tournament will receive an unofficial prize - a Chinese Go book in electronic form. The link to the book will be posted in the tournament chat for a few days after the tournament starts. Since the chat room is periodically cleared of messages, the link will be removed after some time. If you haven't had a chance to download the book, post in the tournament chat and I'll post the link again.
\n\nSecond, GoMagic.org has generously sponsored prizes for participants of the unofficial tournaments that I host.These prizes come in the form of coupons, which can be used towards the purchase of GoMagic courses and memberships. In each group of our the third round, participants ranking 1st and 2nd will be awarded these valuable prizes.As the host, I will personally deliver the coupons to the winners via private message on OGS
\n\nSomething about the regulations. Please note that each move adds 1 day to the time, but no more than 3 days. Time is suspended for the weekend. This means that you have to make one move per day.

\nGrandpa Frog, who is a member of the GoMagic group on the OGS, is hosting the Oktober (2024) \"The most beautiful fall\" tournament with the help of GoMagic .
\n\nOctober weather is capricious and unpredictable, but it doesn't make autumn any less beautiful. Bright, full of colorful colors, morning mists and cozy evenings, the time disposes to travel.
\n\nDo you want to rustle up colorful foliage, enjoy the splendor of golden hills and the freshness of morning mists? There are many places in Russia where this time of year is especially beautiful.
\n\nKarelia \n\nIn autumn Karelia looks even more picturesque than in summer. If you come here in September-October, you will be surprised at how comfortable and relaxing your vacation can be: there are no crowds of tourists, stifling heat and swarming insects. Except for swimming and river rafting, you can enjoy the same activities as in summer: sightseeing, hiking, boating, biking, quad biking. The temperature in September stays at +10...+15 °C during the day and reaches zero at night. In October the mark of the thermometer becomes even closer to zero. Fishermen also love Karelia: 25% of the territory of the republic is occupied by rivers and lakes, so it is difficult to stay without a catch. If you bring a folding barbecue, you can enjoy fresh soup or barbecue.
\n\n\n Autumn in Karelia \n \n\nPles \n\nIn small towns, the influence of man on nature is not as great as in megacities. Provinces have preserved their color and unique charm. Autumn Ples is a place where time has stopped, here you will find peace and inspiration. Vacationers are welcomed in private city estates and authentic hotel complexes.
\n\n\n Autumn in Ples \n \n\nAltai \n\nThe Altai expanses are amazing: the mountains mottle with golden and scarlet hues, even the rivers change their color and become bright turquoise. Since September, the tourist flow is significantly reduced, you can calmly walk and make beautiful photos without pushing through the crowd. There are so many tourist routes and attractions that you can't see everything in one trip. In September and October the daytime temperature remains plus: +8 ... +4 °C, rains are not rare.
\n\n\n Autumn in Altai \n \n\nBashkortostan \n\nIn autumn the Republic acquires new colors, the most fascinating views open from the uplands. Muradymovskoe Gorge, Yuraktau Shihan, Mambet Rock, Inzerskiye Zubotchatches mountain range are transformed beyond recognition. Autumn landscapes will impress those who are in Bashkiria for the first time and those who come here every year. The climate in September and early October is quite mild, the temperature reaches +15 °C during the day, in the evening it is better to light a hearth for a fire and enjoy hot tea or other drinks.
\n\n\n Autumn in Bashkortostan \n \n\nSeliger \n\nAutumn Seliger is perfect for hiking in the forests and mountains, evening gatherings around the campfire. Cycling tours, horseback riding, catamaran rides are waiting for lovers of active recreation. The Spaso-Preobrazhensky Monastery is open for visitors at any time of the year. The lake of almost a hundred kilometers in size is especially loved by fishermen, here you can find pike, perch, pike perch, pike perch, bream and even eel.
\n\n\n Autumn on Seliger \n \n\nDombai \n\nThe change of season in the mountains is especially beautiful - the peaks are covered with snow, and the forests change their emerald colors to scarlet and gold. Dombai welcomes tourists all year round. In the fall you should come here for hiking in picturesque places, mountaineering, overnight stays in a tent with a view of the starry sky. Regardless of the chosen route, the natural beauty will accompany you everywhere. The temperature stays within +10...+14°C during the day and drops to +6...+3°C in the evening.
\n\n\n Autumn on Dombai \n \n\nPereslavl-Zalessky \n\nA small town on the shore of Lake Pleshcheyevo turns different colors with the arrival of autumn, so even an ordinary walk will be romantic and fascinating. The ancient churches and buildings preserved almost in their original form look especially beautiful surrounded by purple foliage. Most of the sights are in one way or another connected with Peter the Great. Another reason to come here in September is the annual aeronautics festival. Daredevils can not only enjoy an unforgettable spectacle, but also go up in a hot air balloon.
\n\n\n Autumn in Pereslavl-Zalessky \n \n\nAdygea \n\nSnow-capped mountains, golden fields, rushing rivers and waterfalls - Adygea is created for those who love secluded vacations in nature. There are as many variants of autumn leisure here as there are sights: active tourists will find ecological trails, and depending on the level of preparation you can choose a trip lasting a few days or a couple of hours. Lovers of relaxed rest can relax at the thermal springs. Markets, cafes, restaurants, as well as hotels and recreation centers are open all year round, so your vacation can be as comfortable as possible.
\n\n\n Autumn in Adygea \n \n\nKaliningrad \n\nMany examples of old German buildings have been preserved in Kaliningrad. The westernmost region of Russia is especially beautiful in early fall - old paving stones and Gothic architecture surrounded by scarlet foliage look fantastic. Major festivals take place in the summer, but you won't be bored, there are plenty of sights to see - the Curonian Spit, pre-war villas of Raushen, the Cathedral, the Fish Village, the Royal Gate, the museum in the bomb shelter. The fall weather in Kaliningrad is changeable, but quite comfortable. The temperature decreases very smoothly, and cold weather does not come until November.
\n\n\n Autumn in Kaliningrad \n \n\nPeterhof \n\nPeterhof is known not only for its fountains, but also for its amazing autumn landscapes - some trees have already turned scarlet, while others still remain untouched and retain their emerald green. Every day the parks change, bursting with new colors. Palaces, pavilions, fountains and other architectural monuments look magnificent in this frame. You won't be able to run under the fountains in the fall, but we recommend you to visit Marlinskaya Alley, which will lead you straight to the Marli Palace and the Golden Mountain, the bay and the Montplaisir Palace.
\n\n\n Autumn in Peterhof \n \n\nAnd now about pleasant things, about prizes! First of all, each participant of this unofficial tournament will receive an unofficial prize - a Chinese Go book in electronic form. The link to the book will be posted in the tournament chat for a few days after the tournament starts. Since the chat room is periodically cleared of messages, the link will be removed after some time.

\nGrandpa Frog, who is a member of the GoMagic group on the OGS, is hosting the November (2024) \"Russian backpackers\" tournament with the help of GoMagic .
\n\nI have a few hobbies. First, playing go. Second, backpacking. Third, winter swimming. You know a lot about Go without me. Winter swimming next time. Let's talk a little bit about Russian backpackers today.
\n\nI like forests and backpacking in them. I have hiked with different instructors, but the most professional of them are Ekaterina and Roman Kuropyatnikovs. They also do mountaineering and organize ascents to Elbrus and other mountains. Unfortunately, I have never been able to go hiking with them.
\n\nRoman likes to organize extreme hikes. For example, 100 kilometers of cross-country trekking in two days or “Hundred in a day”, when 100 kilometers of cross-country trekking is done with light backpacks in a day. In Ekaterina's hikes, you have to not only \"moose\" (\"лосить\" in Russian) through forests and fields, but also participate in the cultural program. For example, visiting museums in nearby towns or excursions to interesting places.
\n\nFor reference, “mooseing, moose” (\"лосинг, лосить\" in Russian) are specific hiking terms derived from the name of the animal moose. It refers to moving through the forest like a moose - far away, in difficult conditions and with a heavy backpack.
\n\nHiking with Roman looks something like this. The inscriptions on the picture are from left to right.
\nHow long do the navigator says we have left to go to Vorkuta?
\nNot very much. Closer to thirty kilometers than twenty.
\nAnd more precisely?
\nEighty
\n\n\n How long do the navigator says we have left to go to Vorkuta? \n \n\nBut it is better to see once than to hear a hundred times. Let's take a look at some videos of the hikes made by the participants.

\n\nAnd now about pleasant things, about prizes! First of all, each participant of this unofficial tournament will receive an unofficial prize - a Chinese Go book in electronic form. The link to the book will be posted in the tournament chat for a few days after the tournament starts. Since the chat room is periodically cleared of messages, the link will be removed after some time. If you haven't had a chance to download the book, post in the tournament chat and I'll post the link again.
\n\nSecond, GoMagic.org has generously sponsored prizes for participants of the unofficial tournaments that I host.These prizes come in the form of coupons, which can be used towards the purchase of GoMagic courses and memberships. In each group of our the third round, participants ranking 1st and 2nd will be awarded these valuable prizes.As the host, I will personally deliver the coupons to the winners via private message on OGS
\n\nSomething about the regulations. Please note that each move adds 1 day to the time, but no more than 3 days. Time is suspended for the weekend. This means that you have to make one move per day.
