Hello everyone,
Here comes Part 3 of our look back at EGC 2025 – and with it, the final chapter of our little recap. 🎉
First, a big thank you to everyone who took part in the JIGS Tsumego Challenge during the congress. Almost 100 participants tested their reading skills! 🙌 Many prizes have already been distributed, and more are still coming – including lectures and a Play & Train session for those who showed interest. Besides vouchers and teaching sessions, we also handed out some JIGS merchandise: jumpers, t-shirts, and other small goodies. 👕
