Painful

    Keywords: Go term

This page is in need of attention.


"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.
