李樂怡

English

Li Lok Yee is a Hong Kong women's Go player with a 5-dan rank, one of the local women listed among Hong Kong's Go players. Go in Hong Kong is promoted by the Hong Kong Go Association and various academies through an amateur ranking system and regular open and school competitions, and Li attained her 5-dan grade within that structure, making her one of the city's stronger female players. In 2023 she was selected for the Hong Kong, China women's team at the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou, playing on board three alongside the professional 2-dan players Kan Ying and Lau Yu Yan and the substitute Yeung Sin-kei; the squad was led by team manager So Hung Kan, head coach Tsang Ping-fai and team official Ho Kwun Chung. The women's team event was held at the Hangzhou Qi-Yuan (Zhili) Chess Hall and began with a round-robin preliminary in which Hong Kong faced China, South Korea, Japan, Chinese Taipei and Thailand over five rounds; Hong Kong reached the knockout stage before finishing fourth, just outside the medals. Go first became an official Asian Games sport at Guangzhou in 2010, and at Hangzhou in 2023 the programme again featured individual, men's team and women's team events, with Hong Kong entering both a men's and a women's team. Li was one of the local amateur players chosen for the squad, though verifiable public information on her background, teachers and full record remains limited.
