1st Romanov Busness Services European Professional Go Championship

I have seen that some of the top games from last years European Go championships has been added to the database.

I thought that it would be even more likely for the pro games from the European professional tournaments would be included (such as the recent league), however, I haven't found any luck.

Especially, considering the fact that the statistics will be added to goratings.org, I thought this might be likely. Do you intend to add the games to the database?

Thank you for your continued work on go4go, I have found obscure pro games that are difficult to find anywhere else many times!

Agree, that's what I want to

Agree, that's what I want to say and hope to see. Strangely Goratings also have not updated results from relevent players.

I have already collected the 10 games from this event. As you might have seen, I ask question on lifein19x19.com to see if this might become a regular event - if so it will get its own tournament ID and become easier to search. I haven't heard anything. So I think I should not wait any longer - these are interesting games, in particular because the tournament was won by Fan Hui who is in headline recently.

Thanks, macelee

You are very right that Fan Hui's games are becoming more interesting because of the headlines every where. Clearly, Fan Hui's name will last longer than most Go players in Go history because of AlphaGo. For me, I want to use Fan Hui's games as a reference for AlphaGo's progress. Interesting enough, Fan has said after he won this European pro championship, he actually benefited from experience playing agains AlphaGo, say, psychologically.

I have checked Fan Hui's ranking on gratings after Go4Go undated, he got huge point increase by recent win four games.
