Door Jean-Denis Hennebert · 3 juni 2026

The 36th Leuven go tournament (30 + 31/05) was organised this year in a location, in the university buildings.

There were 28 players, ranging from 16k-4d.

Winner was Lucman Bounoider, who remained unbeaten.
Three players ended with 4 wins: Frank Segers (5k, Leuven, BE), Patrick Breitkopf (6k, Aachen, DE), Dao Duy Khanh (10k, Vietnam).
Congratulations to them for their excellent result.

The top three of the tournament was

Lucman Bounoider (4d, Hoshi, BE)
Yannick Kuy (2d, Hoshi, BE)
Yuanze Gao (3d, Hoshi, BE)

so it seems that Hoshi is the place to be in Belgium to train your go!
