It's very nice, thanks for putting it up. Hard to not think of Kill Bill when I'm watching it! Is it from some book on Shusai, or where does the collection come from? Excellent slideshow.

Yes, a lot of players think it's a japanese game because of the anime hikaru no go. But if they, like myself, actually play the game they would know it's a chinese game and should respect it. Good comment.

exactly igo (wei-chi) is originated in ancient china.

but modern igo has developed in japan. then spread over other countries again.

This game originated in China.. I'm a Korean... Chinese, Korean and Japanese are playing this great game. I think this game is better than Chess. Good video.. Thanks

wrong, 1600 to 1980 Japan was No1, before 1600 Japan Go has very very little history & culture compare to China's Weiqi.

[kuni90210]

-200 to 200 Go is from China

600 to 1980 Japan as No1.

1990 to now Korea as No1.

Waite，I think Go is from China, because it is our traditon. So please check if you don't know.

Are you talking about the greatest today or of all time? Because, I believe the greatest of all time are Honninbo Shuusaku and Go Seigen. Unless I'm wrong, that is.
