I am the creator of one of the most comprehensive english-based information thread on chinese go books at the godiscussions forum: [ext] 'Some of my chinese go books'

Currently just a humble kyu playing mainly on KGS, if I ever finish reading and understanding the books I own, I'll be quite a few ranks higher.

I only have an elementary understanding of the chinese language so my translation attempts are on a best effort basis relying heavily on the aid of online dictionaries. Perhaps one day, my skill in Chinese will also grow much more as well.

Started the "Arsenal of Immortal Devices" Xian Ji Wu Ku Problems project. Completed the first section (疏豁角) of the Leather scroll. Enjoy.

2009 April 23
Thinking about maybe bringing additional classical go problems to SL, from sources such as "Arsenal of Immortal Devices" 仙機武庫 circa 1629, but definitely not at the same pace ;) Probably will be a lot of dupes that appear in other classical go problems collections as well.

2009 April 22
Recently brought the Gokyo Seimyo Tsumego Series to SL with the completion of all problems in Volume 3 of Gokyo Seimyo. As a result of completing this task at a quick pace, I was nominated onto the recent changes junkie's nightmare list.




Herman: Thanks for the addition of the Gokyo Seimyo problems, excellent material! :)

tapir: Indeed! Hope this encourages everyone to solve (or try to) tsumego, here.

unkx80: Thanks for posting these problems. The difficulty of the first few dozen problems looks realistic and pretty much at the right level, suitable for the majority of the Go players.

Phelan: Thanks! :) Just one note: If you are creating a lot of pages like this could you please use minor edit, though? It makes RecentChanges crowded and hard to read. I feel that editing the main page and saying "added problems X to Y" on the change summary should be enough.

tchan001 I really don't think adding a major collection of problems should be considered a minor edit. Every problem is a major addition to SL. If you look at the definition of minor change when you edit a page, you'll see that it's about correcting spelling mistakes, changing keywords, making the page look right...

Don't worry though cause I'm sure this type of addition is not an every day type occurrence.

tapir: Seeing recent changes crowded from such additions makes me happy. This was a good week for SL with the Gokyo Seimyo and the long awaited search function arriving...

xela: I second this--please do keep all of the new problems appearing on RecentChanges! Thanks again tchan001 for your great work on this series.

unkx80: Congratulations for being nominated on the recent changes junkie's nightmare list. =P =)

Phelan: It seems I was the only one who felt crowded. :P

Batavia?: seems like another word for junkie nightmare is valuable contributer

Phelan: It is, since only people who add or rework a lot of content are eligible. If someone would blank a lot of pages, or write gibberish in a lot of, he would be called a vandal instead. Perhaps that should be more explicit on the page?
