Many Malaysian Chinese speak Hokkien/Min Chinese rather than Mandarin. My guess is the Chan/Chang used by Nihon Kiin attempts to reflect his personal pronunciation of his name.

Re: Japanese pro earnings 2024

That Japanese golf scoreboard has the top 20 competitors each participating in about ~20 tournaments, and 14 of them appear to have won at least 1 tournament outright.

Yes, my vote is to keep on phpBB forum style, please. I find the newer styles of forums/chat servers unreadable.

Re: Major new article on go in German

I doubt Edward Lasker said this (or reported it).
