Dear subscribers of the European Go Journal,

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you! I wish all of us peace in everyday life and joy of understanding the game on the go board.

My team and I currently work on the November & December edition of the European Go Journal, which should not disappoint you:

• interview with Benjamin Dréan-Guénaïzia 7d, European Champion
• brief interview with the winner of the Grand Slam - Jonas Welticke 6d - and his commentary on the final game
• my impressions of attending the Grand Slam
• Art & Photography, studying with AI, and much more.

I plan to release this edition within the first days of January.

To those of you, who subscribed to the printed edition, I plan to send a gift in the same envelope with the journal - a Christmas-themed postcard, possibly also with some go on it. I realize that some of you might also be interested in a topic of the war in Ukraine, so if you would like to receive a Ukraine- or war-themed postcard - you can choose any item from the links in the end of this message, and I will add it to your envelope, too - just let me know in a private message here or via email: contact@eurogojournal.com

Last but not least, thank you for your continuous support of our project and happy holidays!

Artem Kachanovskyi 2p,

Editor-in-chief of the European Go Journal
