Player Development

The Player Development Committee is all about teaching Go: both to beginners and to those who play already. The aim to us to raise the level of play of those who want to learn more about Go. Ultimately it would be great to see more UK players doing well on the European and worldwide Go scenes, but helping players improve their kyu level just a little in ordering to improve their enjoyment and satisfaction with Go is a more reachable aim.

We will be aiming to provide teaching events and schemes, including the Shodan Challenge mentoring scheme. There will be advice given on how to provide local teaching at a club, game analysis and other services.
