South Korea Interviews Pavol Lisy
Pavol Lisy
This interview was quite fast, as you will read it you'll notice that Pavol likes to be fast. He was the youngest at KBC, and at the beginning it was quite difficult to relate to him since he only spoke just a few english word. But day after day he became one of the most valueable student at KBC.

Leonardo: What about you and your life besides go?
Pavol: I'm Pavol Lisy and I'm 14 years old. I live in Slovakia in a town close to Bratislava, and I study in a Hungarian school. I like sports (football, basket and handball), food and girls.
Leonardo: How did you start to play go and how is your go life?
Pavol: I learned go when I was 7, when I collected a lot of black and white bottle's plug and my father knew a game to play with them. I played with my father, and the I started to take part to tournament having good results. I play almost only at the tournaments, I don't like to study by myself and I play quite rarely. When I was 11 I participated at the European Youth Go Championship in Russia and I ranked 5th. Last year I also ranked 5th in the National Championship. My rank before coming to South Korea was 1k.
Leonardo: Tell me about your adventure at KBC and in South Korea
Pavol: I knew about KBC before the Slovakian Go Federation got an announcement and the president told my father about this possibility. I came to visit a new country, have a new exciting experience and do something good. I don't like to study, so I would prefer to play more tournaments and fast games. At the school here I like also the other activities, like sports and tours. I think I improved, but I don't know what helped me more to become stronger.
Leonardo: Plans for the future
Pavol: I don't want to study, I don't like it, but I'd like to become stronger. I don't want to become a professional player because they are too slow. At the moment I don't know exactly what I want to do in my life, just stay with my friends and then I'll see.
