12th Nottingham Go Tournament

The Nottingham Open returned after a five year gap. Lady Bay Church hall in West Bridgford was the venue on Saturday 7th September. The venue turned out to be well suited to a Go tournament, with a car park, and shops and cafés nearby. As well as the large playing hall, a second sizeable hall was available for refreshments and for game reviews with the then British Champion, Damen Woo. As the venue was so good the club was looking forward to booking the venue again for the 2025 edition.

The event had changed format to a three round McMahon tournament and it attracted 36 players, with a healthy number of strong players making the bar 2 dan. The winner was Peikai Xue (4d UCL), who beat Zhan Shi (3d Manchester) in the final round. Tying for 3rd place were Jake Game (4d Swindon) and Bruno Poltronieri (4d Cambridge). Winning all three games were Conor Hunt (4k Burton), Sam Curran (7k Sheffield) and Joshua Burland (9k Cardiff). Best player below the bar was Christian Scarff (1d Swindon). Top SDK was Ai Guan (1k Birmingham) and top DDK was Stuart Bray (10k Nottingham).
