Names In Go
Keywords: Problem
Go being an old game, there are several more or less famous past and present Go players, writers, researchers, etc. There is more information on some of them here. (Note that this list is not complete - omissions merely imply ignorance/laziness)
See also: John Fairbairn's list of KoreanNames and Jan van der Steen's January 13, 2002 Here is John Fairbairn's compiled list of Professional Players' Go Styles published in a RGG thread on who is the "thickest" player.
For the pages where the builders and users of SenseisLibrary introduce themselves, we refer to HomePages. A note on 'oriental' names: it is customary in the far east to present oneself with the surname (family name) first, followed by the first name. E.g. Ishida Yoshio should be thought of as Mr. Ishida in english speaking terms. Yoshio is his first name. (Cultural note: in France, where names like Phillipe Robert can often be found, it is customary to capitalise the surname to avoid any confusion. Our friend Phillipe will therefore see his name spelt Phillipe ROBERT.) TakeNGive: I've begun capitalizing surnames on this page. I'm assuming the Asian names mostly are listed familyname-first. Anyone who notices a mistake, please fix it. Also, what's customary with "van der Steen" -- should it be VAN DER STEEN, or van der STEEN, or what? Similar question for "van Zeijst".
