     Kill-all Go in Insei LeagueWe will not have handicap division in March.
 Instead of it we will practise at Kill-all Go:
 The rules are as in regular Go, on a 19x19 board, but Black is awarded
 17 handicap stones, using free placement (Chinese rules with 9 stones
 handicap and after that W passes). If White can obtain a living group,
 she wins, while if Black can prevent this, he wins.
 
 17 stones are chosen based on the experience amongst professionals
 that this amount gives White a roughly 50% chance of success.
 
 When players of different groups play this game, the number of
 handicap stones must be changed: 1 stone per group.
 For example, A group insei must kill E group insei on 13 handicap, but
 live with the same opponent on 21 stone.
 
 2 games per person with different colors: one with B, second with W.
 Time control: 10 min +30 sec, 5 times
 Free registration, without additional entry fee.
 
 We played this game in our Korean Baduk School and I am sure, it helps
 you to improve the reading ability and shapes flexibility.
 
 P.S. Still there are 2 empty spots: one in B, another in D
