Has anyone heard about if there are plans for another, or if the first was a success at all? International exposure for Go is always a good thing so I'm hoping that it will happen again. |

The IGF website shows: SportAccord World Mind Games The first SportAccord World Mind Games will be hosted in Beijing, China, in September 2011. Bridge, Chess, Go, Draughts, Xiang Qi and Duplicate Poker are the six mind games that will take part in the event. The competition will take place in an all-in-one venue and will feature the best players worldwide. Only a limited number of member countries of IGF will participate. Winners will be awarded with prize money. More details will be available in the following months. It has previously stated on 18/10/2010: It was announced today that initial contracts for the 2nd World Mind Sports Games to be held in Manchester from 12th to 25 August 2012 have now been signed. It is expected that there will be at least as many Go events as in the 1st WMSG in Beijing in 2008. It is understood that Poker may be becoming provisional members of the IMSA and participating in these games. |
