- What do the terms GAISEI and SENZENSEN mean, please ?
-
- One of the published lists gives KAME NO KO as meaning "tortoiseshell". Can
- someone explain this, please ?
-
- Finally, in chess, there is a very useful word, "zwichtenzug", meaning
- "intervening move"; used of a move that is becoming more urgent, and (probably)
- forces a reply, but is outside of the main thread of the battle going on at the
- time. So it usually comes as a surprise.
-
- It strikes me that this kind of thing is even more common at go than chess, so
- there may well be a standard Japanese term for it. Does anyone know of it ?
-
- Thanks, Bill Taylor. wft@math.canterbury.ac.nz
