Dave Sigaty: 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.

Note that John Fairbairn was gradually publishing a varied and fascinating series of [ext] historical essays and other (often historical) materials on the [ext] features page at Mindzine. The site has become inactive but it and the materials are still there. Most materials on Go history in English are about Japan. John's work is much broader, covering not only the big three (China, Japan, and Korea) but digressing to Tibet and Okinawa as well. Read them while they last. And if you have the opportunity, push John to find a new venue for publishing additional works as well!!

John now publishes all the material he wants to on the GoGoD CD Encyclopaedia and Database. (T Mark Hall, 16/12/2003)

Note: Some claim Go was developed as a game in China perhaps 4000 years before present time, but this date has been questioned by many.
