I have long wondered whether we have a Baduk playing community in South Africa, and last night this was confirmed! At the Pretoria go club, there were three Baduk players of various strengths from the Korean community. The strongest was Mr. Hoon Shim, rated at around 2 gup (probably 4 or 5dan in SAGA rating) and there were also two players of single digit kyu strength, Hany and Grace Lee. SAGA has had a long relationship with Japanese and Chinese go players (e.g. our two strongest players who learnt their go in China) and we’re very happy to welcome the Korean go players into our community too!
