The Present Situation of Mogol Baduk - Jeongil Kim 7D
Here, in Ulaanbaatar, there are over 10 players who can play Baduk by over 1 Dan. But they don't know about WBaduk, Tygem, Cyberoro and so on.
They only play Baduk by KGS internet site which was made by Japan.
About 6 years ago, a Japan Baduk teacher stayed here for 2 years. He taught them Baduk by using Japanese Baduk Terms. So the Baduk players in Ulaanbaatar only know the Japanese Baduk Terms and KGS internet site.
At that time, there was the office of Mongol Baduk Association. But now there wasn't any office! During last 2 years, the prices has been going up very high. So they couldn't pay the rent fee for their office from last year and they couldn't help closing their office.
Now we are trying to find some sponsors with the president of Mongol Baduk Association for having our new office. And I am trying to promote Many Mongol Players use WBaduk. I know it is not easy they should play the game by WBaduk instead of KGS Because they have played the game by KGS for a long time. But I hope they can do it in the near future.
Sansar, who is the strongest player in Mongol, has taught how to play Baduk to many students for 3 years. He got the second special prize at the 5th Korea Prime Minister Cup International Amateur Baduk Championship which was held last year in Korea. I am sure he can make remarkable progress in Baduk and we are planning to make Baduk Materials (Jeong-Seok, Haeng-Ma, Life & Death etc) which is written by Mongolian.
Like a Genghis Khan in the past, I hope someone can conquer the world in the future!
