Chungnam Dojisa Cup

While many of our students were participating in the 1st World Mind Sports Games in Beijing, the students who stayed in Korea also participated in a big tournament, the Chungnam Dojisa Cup.

This tournament has been organized for more years, and it always had many different groups such as senior, female, etc. However, this was the very first time that the organizers formed a foreign group, too. 8 of our students were participating in the tournament: Mod (6d), Javier (6d), Michael (4d), Simon (3d), Him (3d), Louis (2d), Soren (2d), and Tony (1d).

The tournament also had impressive money prize: the 1st place got 700 000 won, the first runner-up 500 000 won. Mod and Tony ended up sharing the 3rd place for which they got 300 000 won each. The 4th to 8th place also received 100 000 won, so in the end almost everybody from our Academy received a money prize!

We really enjoyed the tournament, and hope to participate on it next year, too!
