Ing Chang-Ki
    Keywords: People

Chinese millionaire industrialist of Taiwan who learned to play Go when eight 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 equipment and donated much of it to Go federations worldwide
  • He proposed to change the name of the game to "Goe". Only the tournaments, publications, and organizations sponsored by Mr. Ing seem to follow this initiative.
  • Founded the Ing Foundation in 1983, which continues his work even after his death
  • The Ing Foundation sponsors a world championship every four years, the Ing Cup
  • The Ing Foundation supports the growth of the Western playing community with grants of cash and equipment to the European Go Federation and American Go Association. These grants require that the Ing Rules be used.
  • The Ing Foundation sponsors a yearly computer Go Championship
  • Mr. Ing is probably most known for the Ing Prize in computer Go
