One of the sides events of the London Tournament was the Lightning Tournament, where you play Go (with handicap) with a really short time per player. During the qualifications the time was 10 minutes per player (sudden death, i.e. without byo-yomi), and in the knock-out finals it was 12 minutes. I won 5 in a […]

In a couple of hours I’ll be boarding in a plane to London. I’m going to take part in the London Tournament, and days later do some sightseeing.
See you! Happy next year!

During my stay in Novelda, my hometown, for Christmas I had an idea: “digitalize” some almost secret places near the river Vinalopó, which is next to the city. The river itself is quite small, with a width of around 2 meters, but the bed is quite wide, due to scattered floods. Walking up next to […]
