[edit] Any Comments?

What do people think of the page so far, I feel it could do with a little more structure and a better introduction. -ZincBelief

[edit] Other board games sometimes compared with Go

The section Other board games sometimes compared with Go feels out of place on this page and should in my opinion be reduced to list only games played with Go equipment. — Tobias Bergemann 11:21, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

I know what you mean Tobias. My feeling was this content was already out of place on the main article, and perhaps it could be shoehorned in here. Probably you are right that it is out of place. Later I found that there is already Games played with Go equipment, which is linked from the main article. So perhaps we can just totally delete this content (and add a link you may be interested in other games that can be played...)? I'm quite new and hesitate about arbitrarily deleting stuff myself, but it does seem like a good thing to do here. Out of place and duplicated. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ZincBelief (talk • contribs) 15:08, 7 September 2006 (UTC2)

As a first step, I have added a link to Games played with Go equipment to the article as a "See also". I am going to remove the redundancy from the article. — Tobias Bergemann 15:04, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tibetan Go

Who removed Tibetan Go from the page :'-( I was going to add in a Sunjang Baduk article too when I had a little more time.

Well I have put Tibetan Go back into the article. I feel it's quite interesting historically, and I hope to expand sunjang baduk when I have the time. There are still a lot of references and background that need to be added for most of the other variants. Lots of work to do ;)--ZincBelief 09:46, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Well it would be ONLY historical interest. My friend and go author Peter Shotwell spent a month in Tibet, looking for someone who played this way. He didn't find any go players at all.

But I'm not the culprit who removed it . . . :>} kibi 16:54, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
