Rui NaiWei vs Lee ChangHo
The World Needs Balance
The Goe Foundation invites women to learn to play goe and correct the
natural balance of this game of harmony, as it becomes popular in the west.
Goe has been the delight of millions of people in east Asia for over four
thousand years. it has been considered one of the four great accoumplishments
along with calligraphy, music, and painting. in Japan, Korea, China and
Taiwan there eare many women who compet for top goe prizes at the same level
as the top male players. However, in the west women have been slow to embrace
this elegant art-form, which teaches the theory of yin and yang and how
relationship requires sharing.
In October of 1996, Rui NaiWei, 9-Dan will move to the Bay Area. Ms Rui
is the strongest woman player in the history of goe playing. Several times
the woman's world champion she also placed third in the 1992 Ing Cup - World
Invitational Championship of Goe, competing against the top male players
from every country. Wu-Ching Yuan 9considered by many to be the greatest
player of the century) has selected Ms Rui as his final student as he continues
to develop goe strategies in his retiring years. Classes in goe will begin
a t Muddy's Cafe (Valencia between 24th and 25th Streets) in San Francisco
on Monday evenings from 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm on September 30, 1996. instruction
is free, sponsored by the Goe Foundation. Special guest appearances by Ms
