Barcelona Go Tournament

The Barcelona Go Tournament will be held during the days 23rd and 24th of February. The tournament system is MacMahon 5 rounds, with the following time settings: 60 min main + byoyomi 5 min / 20 stones, based on EGF rating. Last year there were 99 players, ranging from 3d to 19k, with some players coming from France and Germany. Though I think that this year we'll see the 6d from Korea playing there, so we all know where the prizes will go ;-)

The inscription fee is 20€, and there are 1300 euros in cash for the top classified players, go books for the players with most or less wins (I might fit in this last category) and a small souvenir for all the participants.

I'm not used to play such long games and I might have some trouble adapting to it, even more if we consider playing 3 games in the first day, lasting for about 2 hours each... I think I might even bring my palm with me, with such time settings I might be able to record my games.
