Viime vuonna Pavol Lisy ja Ali Jabarin kävivät pistämässä kiinalaisia ns. dunkkuun. Tänä vuonna he haluavat lisää mokomaa. Max. 30 3d tai vahvempaa lähtee. -- Jesse Savo



Dear Go friends,

The Silk Road Tournament (Qingling Mountains Cup) is being held again in Xi'an from 8 to 13 October. As you might know, Pavol Lisy 1p and Ali Jabarin 1p came 1st and 2nd last year (and they won 60.000 RMB and 30.000 RMB respectively).

It was a happy incident not only for our European players, but also for Chinese Go fans and media. Therefore the organisers would very like to see even more European faces at this year's tournament. 30 seats are reserved for European players (3 dan and stronger).

You can find more information in the attached document. Please pass them to the top players of your country.

Don't miss the deadline for registration 20 August. Please ask me any questions you might have about the tournament.

Best regards, Viktor Lin

Here's a short reminder on the most common formatting rules you have at your disposal. A complete list is available in TextFormattingRules.

(empty line)     Make a paragraph break.
----             Horizontal ruler
[link]           Create hyperlink to "link", where "link" can be either an internal 
                 WikiName or an external link (http://)
[text|link]      Create a hyperlink where the link text is different from the actual 
                 hyperlink link.
[text|wiki:link] Create a hyperlink where the link text is different from the 
                 actual hyperlink link, and the hyperlink points to a named Wiki. 
                 This supports interWiki linking.

*                Make a bulleted list (must be in first column). Use more (**) 
                 for deeper indentations.
#                Make a numbered list (must be in first column). Use more (##, ###) 
                 for deeper indentations.

!, !!, !!!       Start a line with an exclamation mark (!) to make a heading. 
                 More exclamation marks mean bigger headings.

__text__         Makes text bold.
''text''         Makes text in italics (notice that these are single quotes ('))
{{text}}         Makes text in monospaced font.
;term:def        Defines 'term' with 'def'.  Use this with empty 'term' to make short comments.
\\               Forced line break (please use sparingly).

|text|more text| Makes a table. Double bars for a table heading.

Don't try to use HTML, since it just won't work.

To embed images just put them available on the web using one of the approved formats, and they will get inlined automatically. To see the list of approved formats, go check SystemInfo.

To make a code block, use triple {'s to open, and triple }'s to close.
