Friends!!!
\nGrandpa Frog, who is a member of the GoMagic group on the OGS, is hosting the December (2023) \"Last Words of Stalker Redrick\" tournament with the help of GoMagic.
\n\n![](\"https://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/redrick/Redrick.jpg\")
\n \nI'm an animal, you see I'm an animal. I have no words, I wasn't taught words, I don't know how to think, those creeps didn't let me learn how to think. But if you're really like this. omnipotent, omnipotent, omniscient. figure it out! Look into my soul, I know you've got what you need. Find out what I want. I can't possibly want bad things. Damn it all, because I can't think of anything but these words of his - Happiness for all, free, and let no one go away dishonored!\n\n\n
These are the last words of the stalker Redrick, who reached the Golden Ball in the Zone and now had to voice the wish that this ball would fulfill. All this time Red despite everything went to it, was ready to sacrifice an innocent man, for the sake of his own happiness, the happiness of his family and the life of his daughter Monkey, who every year more and more mutated because of his trips to the Zone. But at the last moment he says something completely different, he repeats the words of his companion, whom he had just sacrificed: \"Happiness for all, for free, and let no one go away offended!\"
\n\nWhat do these words mean?
\n\nRead the book \"Roadside Picnic\" by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky.
\n\nWatch the movie \"Stalker\" by Andrei Tarkovsky.
\n\n\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. 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.
\n\n\n Regards,
\n Grandpa Frog.\n
P.S. James Bond will return in the movie \"From Russia with love\"~~
Tournaments Go Magic will continue in January with the \"Morozko\" tournament.
