Hello!

Good news – a big gomoku tournament will take place soon!

Important news from the organizers:

After 8 years, the Gomoka World Championship (ChMG-2017) returns to the Czech Republic – the place where it started in 2009. The competition has since become traditional, having been in Pardubice, Huskvarna, Tallinn and Suzdal. Now it’s Prague time!

HMG-2017 will take place from July 19th to July 29th, 2017. On the organizers page you will find all the necessary information: http://www.piskvorky.cz/en/gwc-2017/ (and if you do not find it, then contact us – note: that is, to Ants, he understands Russian :))
