English Go Terms

    Keywords: Go term, Index page

A glossary of English go terms.

See also English Shape Terms Discussion, Go Terms

Some foreign terms do not have common English equivalents. They are usually used even when writing in English.

While it is generally preferable to use English terms when writing in English, be aware that some foreign terms ("komi" and "seki", to name two) are used more often than their English counterparts. (See /Discussion.)

Notes:

Sure, just save this piece as a text file and then run from command line:

        sort inputfile > outputfile.

Useful trick to know.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work properly - 'Thick' should be before 'Thickness' (sort fooled due to 'thick|' v. 'thick') and 'approach ko' and 'Approach ko' should be the same etc. Never trust a computer to do what a human can do better :-)
