EUROPEAN CORRECTION: "There are now two Russian players, Alexandr Dinerstein
and Svetlana Shikshina, who have earned pro status with the Korean Go
Association," wrote Erik Ekholm from Stockholm. Erik was one of a number of
alert readers who caught our error ("as of this writing, no European has ever
earned Korean pro status") in last week's E-Journal. Les Waller notes that
background on Dinerstein and Shikshina (as well as the rest of the Korean
pros) is available at the KBA site at

TEACHERS GET FREE YASUDA: "The American Go Foundation is sending a free copy
of 'Go as Communication' to anyone teaching go in a school or institution,"
reminds Terry Benson in response to last week's review of Yasuda Yasutoshi's
book. "Contact Mary Laird at roylaird@nyc.rr.com with the details of the
teaching program and your postal address."
U.S. GO NEWS
LEE HEADS TO FUJITSU: The first round of the 16th Fujitsu Cup will take place
in Japan this Saturday, April 12th. John Lee is the North American
representative.
HOBOKEN LOSS: "The May 4 Hoboken Tournament had to be cancelled," writes
organizer Larry Russ. "We lost our playing space for that day."
HIKARU IN CANADA: The latest issue of the Canadian anime (Japanese animation)
magazine Protoculture Addicts contains a two-page article on Hikaru no Go,
reports our HnG reliable source Joel Sanet. "Miyako Matsuda, the author (who
apparently does not play go), mentions the effect the manga (comic) has had in
inducing children to play the game and how surprised she was at the pure
entertainment value of the anime," Joel says.

ON-LINE GAME DIRECTORS NEEDED: The AGA is expecting an increase in demand for
Internet tournament management services. As this medium becomes more readily
available to players and spectators, the AGA is developing the means to manage
more such events, such as the 2004 Fujitsu Qualifying tournament. You can be a
part of this exciting development: the AGA welcomes volunteers to assist
running top-amateur and professional Internet games. Volunteers should be
familiar with Internet play, comfortable typing real-time conversations, and
willing to devote some time to learning to sensitive issues that can arise
with serious competition. Opportunities include Tournament Directors, Game
Directors, Referees and Scribes. For more details, email Jeff Shaevel at
jeff@shaevel.com

dramatically add to your enjoyment of go. Many players come back time and

international go.

GAME COMMENTARY: Bright New Faces
The second game in the title match for the 6th Samsung Cup, a major
international tournament, is today's featured game commentary. The players
include one of the bright new faces in Chinese go: Chang Hao 9P, and one of
the enduring strengths of Korean go takes on Cho Hunhyun 9P, who had a very
good year in 2002, losing only four games in international competition, of
which this is the fourth, all in China. The extensive commentary by various
Chinese pros comes from gogameworld.com, where today's game was originally
published. Gogameworld.com is a subscription service for commentaries on

AN ANCIENT ZEN KOAN RETOLD
In ancient China, two monasteries had been playing a game of go which had
started many years earlier. Once a year, a monk would be dispatched to travel
to the rival monastery to inform them of their opponent's move. However, the
route between the two monasteries was both long and dangerous. One day, the
master of the black monastery called a young novice to his side and informed
him that it would be his honor to carry that year's move to the rival white
monastery. He spent several days in meditation, in memorizing the history of
the game and the complete sequence of moves up to that point, as well as the
route to the other monastery, and when the master thought him ready, he was
released to travel.
After some weeks on this journey, while walking through a dense forest, the
young monk began to catch glimpses of white through the trees and realized he
was being stalked by a rare, white tiger. He began running but soon found that
he had made an error in choosing his path, and was trapped on a black
promontory overlooking a deep dark canyon with the white tiger close behind.
Noticing some black vines growing on the face of the canyon wall, the young
monk began to climb down. When he was about half way down, he heard the roar
of the tiger above and an answering echo below. When he looked below, however,
he realized it was not an echo: there was another white tiger below.
As the young monk stopped his descent, he noticed that two small rats, one
black and one white, were gnawing on the vines that suspended him between the
two tigers. He also noticed a wild strawberry plant growing from the canyon
face, with a single perfect ripe red strawberry. He took the strawberry into
his mouth and savored its succulent flavor, and in that moment what could have
tasted sweeter?
- as told to Stephen Loughin by Villanova University Professor Wood Bouldin.
