What is the Shodan Challenge?
The challenge is to get to 1 dan, or another target grade of your choosing. Signing up to the challenge is a committment to do some regular study and some serious play. In exchange we arrange for a mentor to help you get stronger.
Another tranche of scans of very old British Go Journals in PDF format has been added to the website.
This means that we now have a complete run from issue 0 to issue 133 inclusive.

The match is at 9pm Russian time (that's 6pm BST) on Saturday 22nd May - sorry about the shortness of notice.
15-30 players from 10K upwards will be playing.

BBC Radio 4 - "Why Go?" (30 minute documentary on Go by Chris Ledgard)
Listen on iPlayer - probably only until 20th May
Contributions by BGA members: Peter and Sheila Wendes, John Fairbairn and T Mark Hall.
The BBC website says:
Games played between BGA members may be submitted via results@britgo.org to the EGF rating system, rated as Class C, provided they conform to the following guidelines:
- Games must be played in a place which enables an observer to verify the identities of the players and that the game was played seriously and in a competitive spirit.
The Shodan Challenge is the BGA's one-to-one mentoring scheme where kyu players are encouraged to improve with a personalised course of dedicated study. If you're a BGA member and a kyu player (of any strength) who would like to improve, sign up now!
A new Website Guide has been created, incorporating various previous pages that described aspects of our website.
The main changes in this new document reflect the introduction of Drupal as the Content Management System and the use of some of its new facilities.
