[edit] Death?
While the August 10 page says Shusaku died that day, this one claims he died on September 6. I'm by no means a Shusaku expert, but every source I've found says it was on August 10, so I'm changing it. Does anyone know anything about this? Tropsy 16:40, 9 Feb 2005 (GMT+1)
- August 10 is correct. Stray differences in dates can be caused by naive transcription of dates, ignoring calender reform. Charles Matthews 16:17, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
You sure? This edit by 158.152.128.93 says that it's 6 June 1829 to 3 September 1862, and a reverse lookup on the IP address seems to indicate that it was made by John Fairbairn (the owner of harrowgo.demon.co.uk). Isn't he an expert in this stuff? Evercat 19:15, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Well, I checked against JF's work on names. Better look again. Charles Matthews 19:33, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- It's definitely 1862-VIII-10. So, referring to the conventions he uses, that appears to be the old lunar calendar. This gives the possibility that a September date is correct, once it is figured out what the translation is. Charles Matthews 19:40, 9 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] castle games?
For those of us who don't really know much about Go, someone should define what a "castle game" is. [[User:GK|gK ¿?]] 07:07, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
See oshirogo. Charles Matthews 07:56, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
