Eric Lui 8d has been selected to represent North America in the 6th World Student Go Championship in Tokyo in February, American Go Association President Michael Lash announced last weekend. Lui, a student at Carnegie Mellon University, was selected “based on proven AGA ratings from among those eligible,” Lash said. “Eric has been a rising star in the AGA since a very young age and earns his rating with a lot of competition.” Lui finished second in this year’s ING Redmond at the U.S. Go Congress, finishing in the top ten for the last three years. Lui took 5th in the 2007 US Open and won both the 2007 New Jersey Ing Master Qualifier and the 2007 Maryland Open. “Eric will take a short break from his studies to compete over the goban,” Lash added, “We wish him the best.
