8th Summer Go Festival

Croatian Go Association is organizing 8th Summer Go Festival – a traditional go camp for young players. The activities will be held in a children-friendly hostel Sisak-Zaostrog from August 29 to September 5, 2026. The camp is not a part of SEYGO Tour since SEYGO Project is “frozen” until a significant support from European go community is clearly visible.

 

The camp activities traditionally include:

  • Zaostrog Classic – EGD Class A tournament – 5 rounds, 60 minutes basic time + 3 x 30 seconds byoyomi
  • Zaostrog Rapid – EGD Class C tournament – 5 rounds, 25 minutes basic time + 1 x 10 seconds byoyomi
  • Tsumego solving competition: daily scores are summed up for medals in several strength dependent groups
  • Diving go: a spectacular relay go with moves played on the sea bottom – unique in Zaostrog since 2019
  • PairGo: always fun to play
  • Chess and Go: another Croatian invention, usual in European Go Congresses since 2017
  • Lectures and reviews with go teachers (a special lecture about fair play!)
  • Morning workout and soccer tournament
