MGA's Yu Zhong passes: Yu Zhong (right) passed away May 2 after almost a year fighting with lung cancer. "He is AGA 5 dan and played a lot of Massachusetts Go Association tournaments," reports Ke Lu. You can find a list of his games here. Seeking go clock apps: Does anyone have a list of go clock apps for smart phones? "I'd like an app that has sudden death, byoyomi and Canadian overtime, and Fishcher timing," writes Phil Straus. Email suggestions to journal@usgo.org World rankings: "Several people have recently asked for a worldwide ranking comparison," writes Guillermo Molano. "I think that the one found at Sensei’s Library is very accurate." Bill Saltman adds that while "I can't speak to the general validity of this chart...I have played on KGS and Pandanet (IGS) and the rank comparison seems valid between those two.  I'm a 6K on KGS (last I checked) and 9K on Pandanet."
