Hey everyone! this is Xinwen again! What can we say? We’re already in the year of 2012.
It was indeed a soaring era for Go in Brunei in the year 2010 to 2011. Sometime the higher you soar in the heaven, the harder you have to flap the wings to bear with the pressure.
Some of the clubs had failed me; some of them barely alive; nevertheless, Brunei Darussalam Go Association had finally established on the 25th May, 2011! It was my first ultimate goal, but it wasn’t the end of my ambition – IT IS JUST THE BEGINNING of a great story to be told.

Its been almost 2-years since Jerudong International School Go Academy has set up. Nevertheless it is established by Mr.Ahmed, who is a lecturer and also an enthusiast in Go.
Unfortunately, the days of Mr.Ahmed to stay and teach in Brunei will come to a stop. Brunei Darussalam Go Association (En Ru and Chai Hui) and JIS Go Club members had made a farewell party on the 8th December, 2011.
Many thanks to Mr.Ahmed for being so dedicated and diligence promoting the game in Brunei and to teach many teens the fascination of the game.

*European Go Database*
Xinwen's Rank Graph
———————————————
To Xinwen surprise that his player card or rank graph is listed on http://www.europeangodatabase.eu/EGD/ which is probably the biggest storage database of all go players in the world.
It also automatically update any recent tournament participated such as the Korea Prime Minister Baduk Championship from 2007 to 2010. Though they do not have the info regarding my first International Tournament in Nanning, Guangxi China back in the year 2007.
Nevertheless, this is a good idea proposal the Brunei Darussalam Go Association could implement in the near future.
