2023 New York State Championships

Feb 25, 2023

10-Year Reunion in NYC with $1200 Prize

After the New York Go Center permanently shut down 10 years ago, we not just lost a place for Go players to play Go, but a big family for us to laugh and share stories, to forget about pressure and unhappiness, and just enjoy some Go time. We welcome everyone to the 10-year reunion tournament in Manhattan!

Thanks to a parent donor, all divisions from the double digit kyu to the open division will be awarded cash prizes. Youth divisions will be awarded with trophies and certificates. Additionally, the two champions in open and youth state championships tournaments will receive special designed trophies.

Registration for the 2023 New York State Championships is open to all players of all levels and will be held from Feb 25-26, 2023 at the New York Institute of Go, Midtown Manhattan, New York.

The events include the Open Tournament, New York State Open Championship, New York Youth Championship with a maximum of 140 seats. Besides the main tournament games, we will also host evening events like Pair Go, Crazy Go, 9X9 and 13X13 Tournaments. The event is located in the center of Hell's Kitchen with a variety of delicious food. Come to enjoy Go, come for the reunion of old friends. We are looking forward to meeting you here!
