Dear readers, The third season of La Esquina is underway, and we are kicking it off with the longest issue we have published so far. And with news we have been waiting years to share: the 2028 European Go Congress will be held in Salamanca. In this issue, Víctor Samitier launches a series on the history of the game with the first part of "The Eras of Go." Albert Sánchez tells us how the 9th Nam-Ban Seminar was experienced in Vilanova. María Palacios takes us to play 250 meters underground, in a Polish salt mine. Dai Junfu (戴俊夫) shows us how to manage a ko in a game he played against Isaac Ripoll, which Isaac himself has translated for the magazine, and we close out the news with the 8th Canary Islands Go Open, the best-attended of those held so far in the islands. Also, this time we've turned the tables: Joan, who writes so often in these pages, takes a seat on the other side of the interview. And, as if that weren't enough, he also leaves us an article about The Odyssey. We've done our job; now it's time to enjoy the reading! Published in La Esquina #011 (November 2026).
