Is "strong" actually a good fitting word for go players that are a higher rank

one of the comments "you may be physically stronger than me but it doesn't mean anything while I destroy you in a board game" LOL

Yes. Strong is a good word for a more fit player.

Typically when people are good at a game you would describe them as "a good player". In sports that require speed you can use "fast" (a fast driver), in sports requiring strength it can become "strong" (a strong weightlifter) etc.

With that said, I agree that "strong" is not a fitting term at all for good players in thinking games. If we want to deviate from the standard "good", then "smart", for one, would fit much better.

I'm a bad player. Shin Jin-seo is a good player. Neither of us is particularly strong, I imagine.

Now I'm picturing this same idea in racing

"He's the fastest driver on the grid"

"But he's never won a race"

"Yeah, but you should see him run the 100 meter"

u/munt45 is the hero r/baduk deserve, but not the one we needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.

Seems more fitting for Bobby. But what happened to that guy? He get banned or banished? He'll prob come out of hiding some day. Just like the dark knight after breaking his back or whatever happened in that movie where he ends up in a prison hole
