First European Janggi Championship in Hamburg
Saturday, 26th & Sunday, 27th of October 2019
Announcement
The European Janggi Federation (EJF) in cooperation with the local host, the
German Janggi Federation (GJF) as well as “Johannes-Brahms-Konservatorium” is happy to announce the organization of a the
1st European Janggi Championship on
26th & 27th of October 2019 in Hamburg.
Our efforts in promoting the game especially in Europe forced us to do the next step: organizing a European Championship in Janggi – also known as “Korean Chess” – a game with a long history and highly respected in Korea.
We are especially proud of the fact, that many local players from Germany as well as the strongest players from Europe – coming from Poland, Russia, France, Austria, Turkey, Netherlands and Ukraines – have already committed themselves to participate; securing the highest level of play in Europe; fighting for the title as European Champion.
Besides the main tournament, we also organize the European Blitz Championship with the extra option to gain the title as European Blitz-Champion 2019.
Some minor groups of children already play seriously Janggi in different parts of Europe. The European Janggi Federation reflects on this development by organizing the 1st European Youth Championship 2019 for participants below 18 years of age.
All tournaments are played in an Open format, which entitles all interested players living in Europe to participate.
We will play according to the International Janggi Tournament Rules, which are currently in use by the Korean Janggi Federation (Southkorea).
