Robert, many questions about professionals can be checked using John Fairbairn's Names Dictionary, which I know you have as part of GoGoD. Best wishes. |

I have used Sensei's, gobase, GoGoD, sometimes English pages of professional associations' player information, pairgo webpages, other tournament webpages and google for getting information about a player's sex. None of these sources is complete though, especially not with respect to providing information about sex, not even implicitly by usage of pronouns. Sometimes transliteration variation adds, eh, excitement. In case of Yun Ch'un-ho, I did not succeed, but thanks tchan001! Another problem was Liu Yiyi. I am still not absolutely sure and so far rely only on pictures of other people having the same name: all women. Why I ask? Pronouns, of course! BTW, GoGoD is pretty useful but less so for international amateur or NAMT tournaments. |

Liu Yiyi (刘轶一) http://sports.sina.com.cn/go/p/2010-06- ... 5785.shtml http://sports.titan24.com/qipai/2010-01-17/9313.html http://www.hkgodev.com/coach.html Looks like a guy to me. And he seems to work in Hong Kong as a coach now. |

Liu Yiyi [Liu2 Yi4 Yi1] 刘轶一 Male. Chinese professional. 1d as of 1989 but appears to have reverted to amateur status. Played in 17th Japan-China Goodwill Exchange. The benefit of using John's program is the searchabilty of names both in Oriental script and in English. I know that I'm biased, but the first port of call for me is the Names Dictionary. There are too many people out there who think that they know Oriental names but don't. Best wishes. |

The problem for Chinese characters is that you need to know what the tones are for the transliteration as well as the spelling AND there are transliterations that have the same spelling and tones but are written with different characters. So it's not an easy task to guide you find those yourself. I can't quite comment on Japanese or Korean though. |
