The section is not about games which are "confused with Go", but about games which are "compared with Go". As such it is relevant. Go-Moku is not a variant of Go; the only similarity is that it is played with the same equipment. It does not deserve mentioning in the second paragraph of an article about Go. --AxelBoldt |

Go-Moku is not a variant of Go; the only similarity is that it is played with the same equipment. It does not deserve mentioning in the second paragraph of an article about Go. --AxelBoldt : As the article states, people first experiencing Go will naturally try to compare it with other games they may be familiar with. These comparisons are not about which game is "better", or about confusing the game with others, but about drawing on common experience to learn something new. People often find it difficult to approach Go unless they can see where it fits in the game pantheon; though such effort may be futile, it is still information people frequently want to know. -- Bignose Though the word spelled the same, it is a Japanese word which pronounced differently in Japanese. The 'o' sound in Japanese sounds like the O in 'Octopus'. Since the English verb 'go' is too common, people tends to pronounce the name of the games as an English word. Same problem with other words like Toyota where the O is pronounced as Oh in the western world; Karaoke is also pronounced differently from the Japanese original. : This is true. Are you presenting this as a problem with the article, a suggestion for inclusion in the article, an interesting point for discussion, or something else?

The appearance of the Shogi link prompted me to include it in a new section on often-compared games. I don't feel I've done NPOV-justice to the mention of "Go is deeper than Chess, but that doesn't make Chess worse". Anyone want to try for something more NPOV that still answers people who will ask "Which one is better? Which one is harder?" -- Bignose I really appreciate the addition of the Unicode characters for Chinese wei-qi and Japanese igo. Can we also have the Korean characters for baduk? I have no idea how to find them in the Unicode character set, and I have no tools for editing Unicode, but they look approximately like this:
-- Bignose : "바둑" In decimal: 48148 46161, but please verify. -- Juuitchan :: They look right to me, thanks! (Caveat: I'm not literate in Korean, I'm referring to a Korean box of stones and a Korean magazine called "Baduk". Verification from someone who *is* literate in Korean much appreciated.) -- Bignose |
