At the World Amateur Go Championships,
each year
an increasing number of countries send one of their top amateur players
to compete for the title.
Here we can see some of the boards at a WAGC, with players, game
recorders and spectators.
Despite other countries trying hard to win, only Asian countries have
won the WAGC so far.
