1995 US Open

Tournament director: Bill Camp

Tournament Report

From the American Go Journal: Over 200 players crossed swords every morning in their big game of the day, in the national championship. All week long, there were rumours of a new player in the top section who was beating up on everybody, and didn't look likely to lose any games. In the end, the slim, amiable Danning Jiang in fact won the US Open. Jiang, who managed the New York Go Institute on weekends last eyar, recently moved to Madison, Wisconsin. However, since only citizens can represent the U.S. in world competition, next year's WAGC representative will be Thomas Ko of Los Angeles.
