Re: Dash International Baduk(Go, Weiqi) Club Championships
To whom it may concern,
It is my pleasure to announce that we are holding the Dash International
Baduk Club Championships from 2004. This competition will be held
quarterly (every 3 months) throughout the year. The purpose of these
championships is to promote friendly relations and mutual understanding
between all Baduk players in the world. These championships will be held
on the internet.(http://www.dashn.com/english)
First of all, I would like to express my gratitude towards the Club
members of major European cities which are (in travel order): St.
Petersburg, Munchen, Wien, Praha, Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris and Frankfurt
that had shown their hospitality when I had visited them with my
students last summer.
It will be an opportunity for the players (especially from Korean clubs)
to meet foreigners for the first time on the internet site. Also,
players can exchange opinions about their games and see what other
countries baduk players think. It will open and widen their perspective
and give them wider views about Baduk players from different countries.
And if you have any suggestions or proposals to make the championships
more successful, they are more than welcome.
With sincere new year greetings and warm regards from Korea,
Prof. Sang-Dae Hahn
Organizer & Tournament Director

Introduction of Dash & Dot com
Dash Baduk started its service within Korea bye the year 2000, and by
2001 it had developed an internation version where Baduk lovers from
several countries around the world could use and enjoy. Currently, there
are around 30 thousand members with around 3000 members simultaneously
online, and we have settled at a position as a representative site for
Baduk.
Dash Baduk site carries many special characteristics which our members
can enjoy. While using an avatar displayed through flash animation,
interesting conversations can be held, and the various Game Room
functions allow for many users to easily exchange opinions with each
other over the multi-review functions provided.
Not only does Dash Baduk provide the services of a standard Game Room
site, but we also have Life or Death problem games arranged in order of
Kyu (Keup), an artificial intelligence program for beginner users, etc.
and we are increasing our services related to Baduk for English speaking
users. You can access the Life or Death problem games through our
website where there are English, Chinese, and Japanese versions ready
for you.
The problems which are currently examined by professional players are
arranged in order of level in a user-friendly way. The AI(Artificial
Intelligence) interactive Baduk game program is available at all times
in the game room and is popular among players of around 10 Kyu level.
(ID: AI_Computer)
Currently, in the Dash Baduk game room, there are several professional
players present on a full-time basis to play guidance games with our
members, and a significant number of professional players are also
included as Dash Baduk high rankers.
Today, Dash Baduk has widened its business service to Japan, China, etc.
and afterwards we are planning to appear on the scene in Europe, North
America, etc.
Our mission statement here at Dash Baduk is to build the world’s leading
first-rate Baduk service.
