I'm not sure of the historical context, but it has many facets now.
For example:-
To meet people and drink beer in convivial surroundings. (Prague)
To visit the Calanques and go swiming in the sea. (Marseille)
To hire a bicycle and explore the locale. (Groningen)
To play rengo
To play go under Ing rules - yes I like them

Let me suggest (as an outsider) that this difficult discussion/

purpose of the EGC (and whose interests are most important) and then
the method.
I am first and foremost a promoter of go. If Asian go "stars" winning
would be better for making the game expand (in Europe or anywhere),

In version 6 of Types of Basic Ko, the definitions of Active /

"two-eye-formation" for every occurrence of "uncapturable life". This
has become necessary to explain shapes like quintuple ko well. Now it

The only fair definition would be citizen or resident of an EGF

problem that there are no go federations in certain countries; I think
that's a different issue.

Those, in my opinion, are the stars - and they are also more likely to catch the eye of the liberal media.
It is impossible not to notice the attention they get at tournaments.

It seems innocuous at first sight but the consequences are very bad indeed.

that is not easy, technically and politically, but having a truly
