Why ?
Because it is Go! Isn't that enough?
Who Are We ?
We are a group of dedicated go players. We come from all walks of life,
and we represent the whole range of human ages. Anyone with a passion for
go, or just curious to learn is welcome to come, and meet with us. Go is a
passion which pumps through our veins, and we act accordingly. Come and
join us for a few tesujis. If you are coming to Tucson, and want to see
who is going to be at any particular club meeting just send e-mail to the
clubs mailing list
tucsongo-list@5z.com , and you
will reach all the members of the club who are on the internet, and they
can tell you who will be there. The chances are someone is going to be
there, but if you want to know who exactly just check.
When ?
Every
Wednesday at
8:00 PM, until about
12:00 PM or later.
(Wednesday meetings happen yearlong.)
Every
Saturday at
8:00 PM, until about
12:00 PM or later.
(Saturday meetings happen yearlong.)
(We stay past midnight more often than not, but we can't guarantee
staying until certain time without prior arrangement. On Wednesdays and
Saturdays we occasionaly start earlier than 8 PM, but that is not
guaranteed either, and if you want to come before 8 PM, then you need to
have arrangement with us about that by email, phone, or at a previous
meeting otherwise people will most likely show up between 8 PM and 8:30
PM. By 9 PM most people are there for most meetings. But you can usually
start playing someone around 8:30 PM.)
Where ?
STILL HERE :
On Wednesdays we meet at IHOP (International House of Pancakes) at 1500
W. Grant Rd. , which is located on Grant just west of I-10 highway.
You can
click here for a map from IHOP.
NEW LOCATION ( AGAIN :) ): On Saturdays we now meet at IHOP (International House of Pancakes) at 4187 N Oracle Rd. , which is located on Oracle just south of Wetmore in front of LOWES. You can click here for a map from IHOP.
(Unfortunately our favorite location at Coffee Etc. fell
through as they went out of business. As soon as we find something better
than Village Inn we will move, but for now we are stuck there. They close
at midnight on wednesday, and at 2 am on saturday, so keep that in mind,
when coming to play. If you are new, or a visitor query the mailing list
(tucsongo-list@5z.com)
to check that the location is still current. July 17th 2002. Martin Lebl.)
(We seem to be bad luck charm for restaurants, since the Village Inn,
which replaced our beloved Coffee Etc. is now also out of business, and so
here goes IHOP. Hopefully they will stay in business, so if we move it is
because we have a better place, and not out of necessity. February 26th
2003. Martin Lebl. )
(Back to only Wednesdays and Saturdays...updated the webpage to reflect this.
Finally I know. February 5th 2009. Martin Lebl.)
How ?
We normally play using the Japanese rules, and we use the Japanese
counting. According to the old traditional style there are no komis, and a
drawn game is called "Jigo". We can certainly accomodate different rule
set (Chinese, Ing, AGA.), but this needs to be agreed upon before a game.
We do not use game clocks, and we have some fast players, and we know how
fast we play, so that we can easily judge how much time is needed for a
particular game. Most of us would be happy to play with a clock, but we do
not own any, so if you wish to play with one you better bring it. The
above is true for our Wednesday and Saturday meetings, at least for
now. On Mondays we mostly use Japanese or AGA rules, with the more
modern stipulations concerning ties, komis, etc.
More ?
Even More Soon
We swear I will get around to it. (Site facelift is also upcoming.)
