British Go Tournament Champions

24th April 2023

BY Oscar Mitcham, Sixth Form pupil

On Sunday 23 April, Winchester College won the British Go Schools Teams tournament, played online. Go is an ancient and fascinating board game from China.

Dr Follows and I founded Go Society in September 2021. It is a small, growing society with players meeting weekly to play and learn Go. We aim to meet termly with the local group, Winchester Go Club for an afternoon of casual games (Banner photo). Their members have provided valuable feedback on the pupils' games, which helped them prepare for this national tournament.
