For the first year, the go club of Grenoble organizes the EYGC. In order to make encounter all great european players – not only the young players – we decided to make a bigger event organizing a big size tournament : the TIGGRE (french accronym of International Go Tournament of GREnoble).
InSeong Hwang who is a member of the club and also one of the best player I know but overall a great friend wanted to help us organizing it and decided to give prizes for this tournament. We all thanks him for this special move -tesuji-
