Then there's 'wei chi' and others variants. Lots of western countries
use 'go' as a root: jeu de go, the game of go, spiel go, el juego de go
and so on. The Japense romanji is 'igo' being the source. The late
Taiwanese philanthropist Ing Chang-ki may have had a point in wanting us
to spell it 'Goe'. Many of the best international players are Chinese
and Korean with just a smattering of western international players that
are strong enough to compete with them (who call it go). Ah well...

The ancient Asian game was referred to as "yi" by Confucius and
Mencius. it only spread to Japan and became known as "go" in the
second millennium of its existence. The best international players
call the game "weiqi" (Chinese) or "baduk" (Korean).

GCC's libstdc++ has this.

It's based on OpenMP (gomp). But that's a different thing
than programming for massive multithreading..
