June 2, 2011
On June 1 2011, China’s Baoxiang Bai (in photo at right) won the 32nd World
Amateur Go Championship (WAGC) with a triumphant clean sweep of 8 wins.
South Korea’s Woo Soo Choi finished in second place with an impressive 7
wins – losing only to Bai in round 5. Arguably, Bai’s match with Choi in
round 5 determined the winner of the tournament. Interestingly enough, in
last year’s 31st WAGC, China and Korea also met in round 5 to battle it out
for the championship. Korea won last year’s championship (the 31st WAGC).
Other than Choi, Bai also defeated Hirata of Japan, Wu of Chinese Taipei,
Lui of the US, Rattanasetyut of Thailand, Burzo of Romania, Suponeu of
Belarus, and Mezhov of Russia.
Eric Lui of the US claimed third place with 6 wins. The rest of the top 10
are as follows: Thomas Debarre of France, Hironori Hirata of Japan, Jun Fan
of Canada, Franz-Josef Dickhut of Germany, Tsung-Han Wu of Chinese Taipei,
Gheorghe Cornel Burzo of Romania, and Merlijn Kuin of Netherlands. The full
results are available at EuroGoTV.
