From May 23rd to 25th 2015 the 7th Kido Cup was held in Hamburg, Germany. This is probably the biggest tournament in Europe after the EGC. 193 players participated in the tournament this year.
This tournament has a big prize budget of together about 10.000 Euro, thank to a very generous sponsor, Mr. Park Jang from South Korea.
The tournament is divided into two tournaments. The main tournament and Top 8 tournament, where players who had the highest rating in the last year can participate. Thinking time was 60 minutes and canadian byo-yomi 15stones/5minutes. This year, there were many strong players in the tournament, 5 professionals in Top 8 . Tie was also possible, because of Komi 7, Japanese rules. I made one against Alexandre Dinerstein. I didn't do very well in the tournament, especially on the last playing day. Winner of the tournament was Ali Jabarin 1p. We both flew here directly from Beijing, China City League C. I like this tournament and I plan to participate next year as well.
