Julius Paulu, South Africa’s representative at the 27th World Amateur Go Championships in Sasebo, Japan, claimed his 3rd win in the seventh round of the tournament this morning.
He defeated 1-dan Juan Pablo Schweitzer Kirsinger, the Chilean representative, to shift up to 48th position. So far, Julius, a 1-dan himself, has only been pitted against dan-level players, and has beaten all 3 of his 1-dan opponents. All of his other opponents have been 3-dan or stronger.
Julius’ opponent in the final round being held this afternoon is Cuba’s Antonio Fernandez Caballero. Antonio, a 3-dan, is taking part in his 3rd WAGC.
The 8 opponents Julius faced in the WAGC are thus the representatives from Ecuador (he won), Brazil, Austria, Luxembourg (he won), Croatia, New Zealand, Chile (he won), and Cuba (result pending).
