About the Authors

Camille Levêque has been a French 2D player since 2018. She studied law and agricultural strategy. She teaches go, runs the Grenoble go school (the largest go school in France), and illustrates about go (Stoned on the Goban). She produces tools and art to promote Go in Europe, America, and Asia. She is the head of Communication for the 2024 European Go Congress in Toulouse (France).

Lucas Neirynck is 6 dan, Belgian go champion, and French Open champion. He teaches go in Paris in many schools and supervises the French youth go team for the French go Federation.

Benoit Labayle is Managing Director of Synchronique Editions. He founded Synchronique Edition in 2008 in Paris, as an independent publishing house dedicated to producing high-quality works on Asian cultures and Japan in particular. “Go À toi de jouer ! is one of my most exciting and challenging projects: how to introduce this wonderful strategy game to the general public, introduce children to it, convince parents to play and have fun with them, and gain the support of the educational community all at the same time with a project designed from the outset to be easily translated and widely sold around the world. I'd like to add that working with Lucas, the French Go champion, and Camille, also a successful player and talented illustrator, has been an immense pleasure on this project and they make the best team of Ambassadors to promote Go in Europe and the Western world.”
