Friends!

Grandpa Frog, who is an official member of the Gomagic.org group on the OGS, is holding an unofficial Gomagic.org “Kindergarten Breakfast” tournament. This is a tournament for novice players from 25 to 12 kyu. Dans and SDKs will not be participating! That means no humiliation during the game. You will be able to make bad forms and no one will punish you for it. You will be able to build a great moyo and not fear a destructive invasion. The tournament will be soft and cute like Disney cartoons. But beware of empty triangles!

Behave yourselves, don’t toy around and eat your semolina.

There will be no scandals, intrigue or investigations at this tournament. I want calm, peace and goodness, although it never happens that way anywhere.

And now for the nice part. Each participant of this unofficial tournament will receive an unofficial prize - a Chinese Go book in electronic form.

Something about the rules. Please note that each turn adds 1 day to your time, but not more than 3 days. Time is suspended on weekends. This means you must make one move per day.

Soon the tournament will have an author’s poster. Yes, I always promise a poster for each tournament, but I only drew them for the first two. I didn’t give the promised prizes for the last two tournaments either. I promise to make it up to you next weekend.

With respect, Grandpa Frog.
