hello, just out of curiosity, i was wondering how many Go players know lingua latina, and have a decent level like to have conversations or commenting a Go game?

There is a Finnish radiostation that broadcasts the daily news in Latin. ICYAI.

In Barnes and Noble, I found a copy of The Hobbit translated into Latin. It kind of amazed me that anyone would publish it. I can't imagine more than a few thousand selling. Talk about a niche market.

Go check out the Amazon "Foreign Language" bestsellers and see exactly how "niche" this market is. There are many, many more Latinists than go players, for better or for worse.

The station is YLE Radio 1, and the "Nuntii latini" is broadcasted every Friday (weekly, not daily) 18:15-18:20 (EET). The webpage of the program is at
http://yle.fi/radio1/tiede/nuntii_latini/You can listen to the broadcasts by clicking the red "Kuuntele" links, although I'm not sure if they work outside Finland. Below that there are also "Lataa mp3" = download MP3 and "Tilaa podcast" = Order podcast links.

Perhaps easier to ask whether there are Go players in the Vatican?
<edit>I wonder, though, whether that would get the “nihil obstat”, considering the close connection to Buddhism.

I was poking around to see if the 16th c. jesuits reported back on Go. Sadly, it seems Ricci wrote his travelogues in Italian.
Fortunately, his editor decided they should be published in Latin anyway.
GRAVISSIMVM inter eos ludi genus est huiusmodi. In alueo trecentarum cellularum plures, ducentis calculis colludunt, e quibus alij candidi sunt, alij atri. His calculis alter alterius calculos procurat in medium alueum relegare, vt reliquis deinde cellulis dominentur: ad extremum qui plures in alueo cellulas sibi subiecit, victor appellatur. Hunc ludum auidissime arripiunt Magistratus, & saepe maximam diei partem ludendo consumunt; nam inter ludendi peritos, horam integram ludus vnus tenet. Qui huius ludi peritus est, tamersi alia nullare insignis fuerit, ab omnibus colitur, & euocatur. Imo nonnulli etiam eos solitis sibiritibus magistros legunt, vt abiis accurate huius ludi rationem ediscant.
