Orlando Go Tournament, May 5th-6th, 2007
The participation of 10 GO players from Sarasota Go Club at the 2007 Orlando GO Tournament was a great success. Not only that we got the prize for bringing the highest number of GO players at the tournament, but we won the first place in the Dan Division and the tournament and the first 2 places in the kyu Division. Everybody had good results, maintaining the current rank or being promoted.

Sarasota Fall Go Self Paired Tournament, November 5th, 2007
MICSA & CIUICA TOP SARASOTA TOURNEY: Dan Micsa 4d and Gelu Ciuica 3d topped the Sarasota self paired tournament on November 5, the first Florida tourney in three years. "A record number of 27 go players showed up," reports organizer Dan Moise, adding that "the majority of participants are new AGA members." 62 games were played in eight hours; Larry Rabinowicz and Karsten Henckell co-directed and Shanon Moore assisted TD Dan Moise. Winner's Report: Dan Micsa 4d and Gelu Ciuica 3d (both with perfect 3-0 records) both formerly of Romania, "now members of the new family of go players in Florida." Other best results: Wong Chi 5k, 5-0 (Miami Go Club), Barton Lipofski 11k, 4-0 (Space Coast Area Go Association), Ted Bussman 17k, 5-1 (Sarasota Go Club), Joshua Lee 5k, 5-1 (Orlando) and Fu Ming Gong 2d, 3-1 (Sarasota Go Club). Coral Moore 11k, 13 years old, from Sarasota received the "youngest go player of the tournament" prize. AGA Volunteer Coordinator Kevin Purvis 1k won a special prize for "Go endurance" for driving 250 miles from Miami to get to the tournament.

CORRECTION: While Gelu Ciuica had a perfect 3-0 score in the recent Sarasota Go Tournament (Micsa & Ciuica Top Sarasota Tourney 11/13 EJ), Dan Micsa had a 2-2 score, not 3-0 as we reported. Because Micsa played the strongest players in the tournament with white without komi, he shared top honors with Ciuica. We apologize for the error.
