Recently I took part in a Go tournament in Utrecht with Ko Juyon 8 dan professional. Go tournaments in the Netherlands are always very fun because of the nice and welcoming atmosphere created by the Dutch people. This time everyone was especially happy thanks to the visit of Ko Juyo. It was a good opportunity to be able to play against a professional player.
Go tournaments in the Netherlands are definitely my favorite ones. The people attending the tournament go there primarily to have a good time. The tournament is held in a café, and it doesn't have a very official feeling as tournaments in Korea or even in Germany have. The atmosphere is very relaxed and fun. Some people brought sushi from home, so after the tournament everybody was able to eat and laugh together, it was certainly a very good experience for me and Ko Juyon.
Since I'm already back in Korea I'm afraid I won't be attending any European tournaments for the foreseeable future. It was very fun to travel around Europe meeting new people and playing Go. I hope to be able to do it again someday.
