For those who have never been to Budapest, let alone the Hungarian Open, you shall prepare for a trip combining Go with the beauty of the city, wrapped in autumn colors! If you have time for sightseeing, that can be a very nice addition to winning a few games of Go.
And for those who have been there already, you know what to expect…so see you there! 😉

As the tournament is a national event as well, the cream of the cream of the Hungarian Go scene participates, which makes the top group quite consistent…but who would refuse such a challenge?

In all cases, be it your first ever tournament or your 700th, you are very much welcome to give your best on the board and have a nice time!
