About 8 months ago, I attended an English institute to take IELTS.
(International English Language Testing System)

One day my teacher asked me what I do in English.

It was neither interview nor a part of lecture but just casual conversation between her and me.

So I told her ‘I am a Baduk player.’

Then she said ‘Oh, you play baduk? Anyway you should say ‘you are a Go player’, because ‘Go’ is its English name.’

Wow, you know what?

She is Korean.

I agree that the name ‘Go’ took the place after Japan’s long efforts.

However I believe you will understand that I still prefer ‘Baduk’.

Thanks to my dad, who made this homepage, this is MINE.

So I will use ‘baduk’ for this magnificent game.

Yet you may use ‘Go’, ‘baduk’ as well as ‘weiqi’, just pick what you want.

We are baduk players and familiar to all three words, aren’t we?
