Indeed, visiting Korea is always a nice experience. And the tournament is fun, with one player from each coountry you have to talk with people from all over the world. Of course I met there old friends from Europe I didn’t see in years.
Besides the tournament games there are other related activities, like games commented by professionals, simultaneous games and friendly games. There was also a shop to buy equipment and books. It is an immersing experience.
Zoran was there, I asked him when was he European champion. He was In the 60s and 70s, when he was in his twenties. I was not even born when he won it first time in 67. :)
Mind Sports Olympiad is very good if you go there to participate in as many games as you can. The Go tournament is not particullary good but the mix with players from other games is nice.
