Report by Terri Schurter

This year's Yang Workshop held in Hackensack, New Jersey was, according to Mr. Yang, the best organized workshop among the over 60 workshops he has done. According to our exit surveys, a good time was, indeed, had by all. Many pitched in to help. Thanks to all helpers.

Mr. Yang's lectures covered large amounts of material, enhanced via prepared sgf files presented through the use of a laptop and projector. In addition to lectures, participants enjoyed Mr. Yang's review of their clinic games. As usual many of the participants had returned to the NJ Yang Workshop from previous years. This year's tshirt featured a portrait of Mr. Yang embedded in a 9" x 9" go board. I am hoping to see many participants return next year for another great workshop. And those of you who could not attend this year, for whatever reason, please join us next year. Exact date to be announced.
