    Keywords: People

Chinese millionaire industrialist of Taiwan who learned to play Go when 8 years old, and spent his lifetime promoting the game. Mr Ing died on August 27, 1997 at the age of 84.

  • He devised a proper set of rules: the Ing Rules -- simple enough for pre-school age children (except maybe for the ko rules)
  • He also devised playing material and donated much of it to Go federations worldwide
  • He has proposed to change the name of the game to Goe. Only the tournaments, publications and organizations sponsored by Ing seem to follow this initiative.
  • After his death, the Ing foundation continues his work
  • The Ing Foundation sponsors a yearly computer Go Championship
  • The Ing Foundation sponsors a 4 yearly world championship
  • Mr Ing is probably most known for the Ing Prize.
