Friends!!!
\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![](\"http://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/Russian_painters/Stormy_sea_at_night_1849.jpg\")
\n Isaak 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\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\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![](\"http://pavelgvozdev.ru/ogs_tournament/Russian_painters/Evening_in_Ukraine_1878.jpg\")
\n Ivan 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\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.
\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 October with the \"The most beautiful fall\" tournament.
