The 10th Slovak Go Festival, which is the biggest Go event in Slovakia was held from 12th to 14th of June 2015 in Kamenny mlyn, Slovakia. The playing place is located about 20km from the capital, Bratislava in a holiday resort where one can enjoy facilities such as swimming pool, volleyball pitch, minigolf, football pitch.
This event lasts 3 days and it hosts 3 tournaments: Rengo tournament (also Pairgo championship of Slovakia), Blitz tournament and Main tournament. I gave a lecture on saturday and Czech 6 dans Lukas and Jan gave simoultaneous games or those who wished. People who once visited this tournament want to come back every year. These days were extremely warm for weather in Slovakia (about 35 degrees) so some of the players enjoyed playing outside. Part of the program is also a dinner together. Two roasted pigs and many other food served by the restaurant near. There's a poker tournament as well and people can have fun even until the next round on the other day. The tournament was finished about 2'o clock on Sunday, so everyone can get home with no worries. This tournament attracts Czech, Hungarian and Austrian players besides Slovaks.
Winners of the tournaments:
Rengo Tournament: Lukas Podpera/Adriana Tomsu
Slovak Pairgo champion: Maros Kral/Sona Smolarikova
Blitz tournament: Pavol Lisy
Main Tournament: Lukas Podpera
