History
The Santa Fe Go Club is a chapter of the American Go Association – the controlling body for amateur player ratings in the US. In 1998 the college was host to the US Go Congress – eight days of eating, drinking, sleeping and playing Go.
Previously, you may have known us as the New Mexico Go Association. In 2010, we decided to bring a more local focus to club activities while still maintaining contact with go playing friends in other New Mexico locations. Go players had been meeting at St. John’s College for many years up until COVID hit. This tended to coincide with renovation work on the Student Center. In 2020 we then started meeting downtown part of the time at the Jean Cocteau movie theatre and then mostly at Violet Crown. In 2024 with a new Barnes and Noble opening at Santa Fe Place we began our Beginners Go Class.
