can anyone tell me, why some People (like Prof. Chen Zhixing for example)
always call the Game GOE instead of GO?
Where does this word (or the letter E on it's end) come from and which
group of persons does use it? I had thought, that the Game is called Wei
Qi (or Wei Chi) in China. Is there any translation of Wei Qi?
I've also heard, that the Game was called KI (i think in China) in ancient times. Can anybody tell me more about this name? What is it's meaning and when was it used exactly? Is this KI the same word, as the QI in the combination Wei QI?
And as the last Question to the japanese People:
What is the difference between the words GO and IGO, which are both
used in japan (as i think)?
Mabe someone could complete the following Table:
Name Meaning

GO ????

IGO ????

BADUK ????
Korea

WEI QI ????

Are there other names? Maybe some, which are used in some provinces of China or Japan? And what about North Korea?
thanks for your interest
