Korean-style Insei League. Now also on DGS (as separated event)!
Recently I got several emails, similar to this one:
"We were talking about how the insei league seems really cool . . . but
as guys with jobs and kids there's just no way we could ever play 12
games a month + do lectures + do teaching games. Well, without getting
divorced or fired. To spend $95 a month is nothing . . . it's finding
the time that's the real trick.
Is there a way something similar could be done on DGS?"
So, we decided to start the separated project on DGS. Any players from 10-kyu to 7-dan are welcome to take part!
DGS Insei League: http://dgs.insei-league.com/Duration: 3 months (we start as soon as we find enough members)
4 inseis per group plus 2 teachers (Alexandr Dinerchtein and Natalya Kovaleva),
2 games between each insei,
2 games with the each teacher.
10 games in total.
All members get the access to Insei League room on KGS - they can watch all
lectures (20+ every month) and simultaneous (60+ every month).
Winners in every group decided by the highest number of wins

per person)
