Painful

   

"Painful" is frequently encountered in English go literature. What is the Japanese equivalent? It seems such an appropriate term... the mental anguish of being forced to play a move that you know is inferior because you screwed up earlier and now your opponent is punishing your previous sub-optimal play.

Bob McGuigan: I think the equivalent Japanese word is tsurai (辛い) which means: hard to bear, bitter, painful, a trial.
