It's great that young Vanessa Wong is continuing to do so well at weiqi, which is known internationally as Go.

Vanessa qualified to challenge Matthew Macfadyen for the British Go Championship in 2010, and she is in the list of provisional championship contenders for 2012.

Vanessa started to learn Go at the age of six. She was a student at Shatin College, Hong Kong, and has taken lessons from various Go academies in Hong Kong and also from a professional from Shanghai at the age of nine. She became 1 dan at the age of ten and 3 dan at twelve. She took part in the Amateur Go Championship in Hangzhou, China and obtained a national 4 dan certificate. She won the Hong Kong Pair Go Championship in 2005, the British Youth Go Championship in 2006, came second in the Hong Kong Primary and Secondary School Go Championship in 2008 and 13th in the European Youth Go Championship in 2008.
