Fun times in Dajeon Part one.

There exists a Place called Daejeon. It is a big city south of Seoul. There, is a Baduk School, Chungwan Baduk Dojang. A few months ago they visited the IBA, this was before my time at the IBA. More recently, In February, we visited them for the first time. Simon, Pascal and I went there for 2 days.


I can not really explain how it felt. I was surrounded by children as young as 4 years old studying the game that I love. I was jealous at their oppurtunity to do this, but the feeling was not strong. Anyway, I can't really explain the feeling, I felt completely invigorated. That part was difficult to explain so..... here are some pictures while I think of something else to say.

Their best three VS our only Three..

Me vs. My rival (although I don't think she knows that...)

Team game, Those kids are all the same level as me, ages 5-7

I lost all of my games that day, but I had a great game against "my rival" It was a bloody fight. But in the end I lost.

On the second day, we all went to Korean Traditional music museum, and learned how to play the drums. We also made our own.

There are plenty of pictures and they are better than words

Put In my place

After all my confidence last week, I have been losing a lot again. That's OK, my games have been better, and my losses were due to getting lazy in the endgame.

Here is a game I lost because I overplayed in a fight against an Insei ^__^. It was a lot of fun anyway, please enjoy the commentary, and the game.

Enjoy.
