Go Club Delft (Do 20.00, Café de Klomp, Binnenwatersloot 5, Delft)

De afgelopen week ging voor Den Haag weinig goed in de Nederlandse Go Competitie. Den Haag 1 verloor zowel van Leiden 1 als van Groningen 1, en degradeerde daardoor. Den Haag 2 verloor van Eindhoven 1 en liep daarmee promotie mis. De enige prijs die Den Haag ten deel viel was een individuele prijs. Cem Guvener haalde de grootste ratingstijging in de 4e klasse.

Frederik Spanhoff has been promoted to 4 dan. On januari 9, the classification committee of the Dutch Go Association decided that Frederik's achievements in recent tournaments were sufficient to promote him to 4 dan. His 5/5 score in the Dutch Go Competition was a significant contributing factor, of course.

The clubnights for thursday december the 24th (Christmas eve) and december the 31st (newyears eve) will not be held. The last clubnight of 2009 will be december 17th, the first clubnight of 2010 will be januari 7th.

On the clubnight of januari 7th, we will have a small newyears party. Everyone is hereby invited to join us for a drink and a snack.

Herman Hiddema has been promoted to 4 dan. He was promoted after 4 years as a 3 dan, on the merit of (among others) his successes in Leksand, the Dutch Team Competition and the Winter Go Tournament 08/09,

Gelmer Bouwman has been promoted to 3 dan. This is Gelmer's third promotion in one year; at the end of 2008 he was still 1 kyu. Will a fourth promotion follow before the end of 2009?
