On November 6, the Embassy of Japan and the Ottawa Chinese Go Club presented the 2011 Embassy Cup Go Open Tournament in the auditorium of the Embassy of Japan. This year, the event attracted approximately 60 enthusiastic Go lovers from not only Ottawa but also from other cities such as Montreal, Quebec City, and Toronto. A heated competition took place among the participants, who were varied in nationalities, and age.
