In June, the women of Latin America threw a party, a go party between women. Different
countries, ages and categories met on the board. Always under the premise of making the
encounter as even as possible, where we could learn and have fun together. For the first time, we assembled a Latin American team that challenged an Ukrainian team.
We crossed the ocean in the middle of a pandemic and the match was wonderful. The Latin American team was made up of players from Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica,
Ecuador, Colombia and Mexico and on the other side very good Ukrainian players awaited
us.
A huge time difference, many anecdotes and great go-companions resulted from the event. The organization was very simple and fast, thanks to the fact that the FIG Latin American
Gender Commission had already been operating for 1 year.
We are looking to promote and make visible the horizontal participation of the diverse genders in
the game of Go, with a particular emphasis on women and minority genders. We seek to
increment their participation, level of play and recognition in the region and the world.
We will continue working on it.
We look forward to the next match!!
Always grateful.
Thank you Nataliia Rusanovska, Milena Brez, Camille Levek, Victoriia Symonenko
and all
the players!
and as on the board, the stones work together….
Come on girl!
