You, European go players, certainly know Kozo HAYASHI Sensei (6D professional from the Kansai-Kiin) who has been so appreciated as a go teacher in the previous European Go Congresses. He would like to participate in the next EGC in Romania, but, unfortunately, due to a lack of funds, the Romanian Go Federation can't afford to pay the fee for his hotel booking and meals. In that case, he won't be able to come there... So we would like to collect the necessary funds for him.

Let's allow Hayashi Sensei to be with us this summer !

The EGC is the biggest event in the European Go world, held once a year in a different European city (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Go_Championship). It gathers about 700 European and international Go players each year.

This year it will be organized by Romania Go Federation in Sibiu.

Hayashi Sensei took part in the EGC in 2006 ( Frascati, Italy ), in 2010 (Tampere, Finland ), in 2011( Bordeaux, France), in 2012 ( Bonn, Germany ) and in 2013 (Olsztyn, Poland ). He commented many participants' games and gave many lessons. He was awarded as the best Go teacher in the EGC 2013 oraganized by German Go Federaition and he also is one of the main teachers in the French Go Camp held in July each year from 2012.
