Australasia at the thirty-first WAGC
The thirty-first World Amateur Go Championships this year was held in Hangzhou, China in the last eight days of May. David Ormerod 5d represented Australia, and placed thirtieth in the results as reported in Ranka, with victories against Costa Rica in the first round, Spain in the second round, Norway in the fifth round, and Thailand in the seventh round. Kaikun Xie 3d represented New Zealand and placed thirty-third, with victories against Mongolia in the first round, Lithuania in the fourth round, Norway in the sixth round, and Spain in the eighth round.
This is David’s first game against Daniel Vargas Campos 5k of Costa Rica, with comments by Younggil An 9p, one of his teachers:
This is David’s second round game against Antonio Egea Diaz 3d of Spain, again with comments:
Ranka mentioned “a strong challenge” from David to the USA’s Thomas Hsiang 7d in the seventh round, which, alas, did not quite come off.
