Hi everyone !

I was wondering if the game of Go / Igo / Weiqi / Baduk (according to your language)was popular in Cambodia ?
Being an amateur myself (though quite unskilled, I'm afraid), I would love some tips and advices about places I can buy a board (goban) and / or find people to play with. Any idea ?
If you're really sure what this game looks like, here's a clue :

For all purposes, here's a link to the wikipedia page of that amazing strategic game.

Cheers ! :-)

Yay ! Other go players ! \o/

I propose we set a date and place to meet and play together !
As far as I'm concerned, I am mostly available during the weekends (not on Sunday afternoon though). I live near Independance Monument and I have a moto, so I'm quite flexible on the place.
Where and when would it be more convenient for you to meet ?

Best,

Michaël

Saturday 17:00 sounds just fine for me.
I do have a goban and stones.
Where do you wanna meet ?

Btw for those who are interested, gobans and stones can be bought at IPC, near the Phnom Penh Tower, on the 1st floor.

We created a group on facebook "Go players in Phnom Penh " to coordinate our regular meetings.
Once again if someone is interested to play go you are welcome to join, even if you do not know rules that's ok.
