Are there any apps that can do this?

I have easygo which is supposed to be able to do this but it crashes every time I try to look up one of my games.

Are there any alternatives for the iphone?

We did it boys and girls, we are now mainstream!

Crush my enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women.

Conversational Chinese isn't very difficult. Plus just because of the intonation of words doesn't mean that people don't mispronounce the Japanese terms. Since you are speaking in the context of go even if your intonation isn't perfect what you say should still be understood.

Well for help in the future

As if you were reading English pronounce weiqi as way-chee. This will hopefully make it easier for the person to understand.

I learned the Japanese terms when I first started playing go but now that I am in China I have been learning the Chinese terminology. Off the top of my head there are no homophones in the list. The words might even be easier for people to pronounce than the Japanese. Yet I think the Western outlook ...

Yes all of those activities are played by niche groups now. Poker is inexorably linked to money and has competitions with large purses so it is different, it is also more of a social game than the others listed below.

Go in China is by and far linked with Children. You will be hard pressed to find ...

With the current state of things go will only continue to decline in numbers despite the advent of our new teacher alphago.

Computer games are much more appealing to people and have likely swallowed up the young children who would have been competitive with go.

Sponsors will be moving from Go to ...

There was not one instance where I said 100% Carlsen has autism. I used words like "seems" and "hunch" and specifically stated that it is far from a concrete diagnosis.

If I didn't make such a statement we couldn't have this conversation. I could have started a discussion with out the use of any ...

Well thank you Joaz for being the first person not to attack me out right.

The idea of people being gifted in chess, mathematics, music, ect. while also dabbling in "madness" is far from original. The fact that you can google Carlsen autism and find that his father made a statement that he does not ...

I am a medical doctor who while during my formal education focused on neuroscience and have even wrote papers on the autism spectrum.

Once again this topic is not about me but about the relationship between psychological conditions and gifted go/chess players; specifically Carlsen and Lee.

While ...

We all have varying degrees of psychological conditions it just depends on whether or not you fall within the "normal" spectrum.

Anyone have insight on Lee Changho?

One of the most apparent aspects of people within the autism spectrum is a degree of ineptitude in social interactions. Lack of eye contact, lack of empathy, unawareness of social ques, ect.

I did some further reading about Magnus and while his father claims that he doesn't not have autism, judging ...

I am a professional. Obviously I don't know what tests he has taken or what but from the original video I and other people had such an inclination that he might have a form of high functioning autism.

I watched the more complete interview, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc_v9mTfhC8 ...

I saw this interesting interview on Magnus Carlsen 2 years ago. It immediately made me think of Lee Changho who became world #1 at 16. I wonder if they are similar in personality and cognitive aptitude. Magnus seems to have a form of Asperger's and while I have heard stories of Lee's peculiarities I ...
