Go History
Keywords: Problem
DaveSigaty: Until now the best place for Go History (at least the history in Japan) has been Andrew Grant's pages. These are no longer up (see [1] below) so it seems necessary for the SL community to produce a "Do It Yourself" version of Go History.
I have taken the Names in Go lists plus a few other items (so far) and created "time lines" by country. I have ordered people based on their birthdays. Please add your events and expand on those listed below as you see fit.
- China [2]
- Japan [3]
- Korea [4]

[5] Timeline Elsewhere
[1] Andrew Grant has written a series of articles on the history of go. You can find them at http://www.honinbo.freeserve.co.uk/.
This link seems to be broken, does anyone know what is up? I've been trying to go there for a week now... --BlueWyvern
Yes, the link has been down for some weeks now. I hope it's not down permanently. You can probably see the cached pages at google, such as Grant's Introduction page, but following the links will be a big ol' pain in the "back" button. Hmmm, do you suppose it would violate copyright to give these worthy pages a home at SL, even if only temporarily? - TakeNGive (11k)
Unless you ask Andrew for his consent, I guess it would
violate the copyright. --Arno
Andrew just (05/09/01) told me that the site has been taken down because he wants to publish the contents as a book. I would not suggest that a copy of the cached pages at Google is put here on SL.
Some other links to Go history are at Jan van der Steen's site.
