Dubious: Mat is bad.
Perhaps: Bad mat(aji).
PeterHB: As an aside, 'Mat is bad' is a beautiful example of what is wrong with stopping the translation process at the transformation of the Korean characters to their official Korean/English transliterations. The idea that 'mat' is intended to mean 'potential left behind' is not the first, or last, thought that occurs to most English speaking readers. 'The cat sat on the mat' is a classic early reading phrase for English speakers. The kind of mat that a cat can sit on, or people can stand on, is the first idea that occurs to English readers.


I suggest 'Bad aji' would be best. Your first thought may be that 'aji' is not an English word, but rather an anglicised Japanese word. True, but all English speaking Go players of intermediate and above standard immediately know what 'aji' means. So aji has been adopted specifically in the Go playing community as an English import due to the history of being introduced to Go by translated Japanese literature. It has a brevity and clarity that makes it more natural to an English Go player than 'potential left behind'. I think the bad taste that some Korean's may feel about using a Japanese word in a Korean book needs to be overcome.
