Chinese Go Terms

Post by Dante31 »

These are Chinese Go terms: the way the are written and their English meaning. With these you can have some idea what is going in Chinese Go books if you don't know Chinese. You should save them to your computer for easy viewing.

That one is too extensive, it is not useful for reference when reading problem books. This one has only the key terms. The SL one has terms like: tournament, win on time, think for a long time, three points without capture... not very useful if you just want to know what is going on in a diagram. Maybe if you go to China and need to know the jargon to communicate with Go players, then the SL list would be what you need.

Not that I would begrudge anyone a sticky for anything, but aren't all these terms and more available under "Chinese Go Terms" at SL, and, as Herman says, in a text format, so they can be searched, copied, etc. (and in real pinyin as well)? It would be silly to sticky every thread with a link to a useful SL page.
