New Course Introduction - Go Fundamental
Fundamentals of Weiqi (Go) - Weiqi, commonly called "go" in the United States, is an ancient board game that is widely recognized as the most challenging two person strategy game ever invented, and a high point of Chinese culture. Beginners are welcome to join this class, starting on 9x9 and 13x13 boards, and then moving up to play the 19x19 game with the other students. The class focuses on recognizing and applying common patterns of play and punishing the mistakes of opponents. Later in life, many players find that making progress is hard because they lack these fundamentals, so addressing these early is very important. Key objectives of the class are to enable students to compete successfully in their age group, and to develop good study habits and proper behavior. Students will be grouped with other students of similar age and experience, and receive instruction suited to their individual strengths and weaknesses.
Instructor - Feng Yun 9p ( website: www.fygc.com ) is a professional go player who was a member of the China National Weiqi Team for 18 years, won the China National Women's Individual Championship (1983) and Women's World Championship (1995) among other victories, and is well known in China for her televised game commentaries. Only two other women in the world have ever achieved the rank of professional 9 dan, which is the highest rank in professional go. Feng Yun is the U.S. team coach for the First Mind Sport Games http://210.51.12.51:8081/wmsg/index.jsp . After coming to the United States with her family, she started the Feng Yun Go School in 2002, and has been teaching players of all strengths, from beginners to some of the strongest amateur players in the world.
