Wéiqí Tiāndì
= the game of Go + heaven and earth (= World) = "Go World", which is of course
= Weiqi World
It's predecessor was simply called "WeiQi" and in almost DIN A5 format.
Now a bimonthly Chinese go magazine with some 70 pages. The basic level is set higher than in Western Go magazines.
Interesting already for some in-depths courses on fuseki or Joseki etc. which last for around 20 issues. [1]
Just recently (Q1/2005) the issues seem to have got more pages (100 every 2 weeks). Even the binding is different: from the folded, then stapled type, it changed to a (very thin of course) type as for pocket books.
