CongressNews No. 5

Short Comment

I don't want to be too critical for this congress is nice and well organised. But there are two points I have to criticize. The first is that there is a difference in time limits for high-Dan, low-Dan and Kyu players. May be that the weaker players usually need less time than the stronger players, but that's no reason to differentiate the time limits and so create first class, second class and third class player groups.

The second point concerns the food and drink service. Isn't it possible to use proper dishes instead of the one-way-articles? That would save natural resources and is also more comfortable. Last but not least I have got a side remark: while visiting Padova we looked at the go stone monument described in the CongressNews 3. We noticed that there are not one but two stones standing in the public garden. So I want to give an idea for a side event: Because the stones are much corroded and rust-coloured (which is not adequate for go stones) they should be painted in white and black on Saturday night as a go congress finishing happening.
