바둑,즐거움속에배우는인생의깊이와의미

하나의전통이만들어지기까지는오랜세월과그오랜세월동안꾸준히반복할만한이유가필요하다.따라서긴수명을자랑한다는것은때로그자체로가치를증명할수있는것이다.더구나사람들에게즐거움을주기위한놀이가끊임없이사랑받고오랜시간명맥을이어왔다는점은그만큼인정받을만한요소가있음을느끼게한다.
검은돌과흰돌,그리고그들의전장인나무판,이간단한도구와두사람만있으면바로시작할수있는놀이,바둑.바둑이2500년이넘는긴시간동안그맥을이어올수있었던것은단순히상대방을이기는데서얻는만족그이상의것을주기때문일것이다.오늘날수많은게임이쏟아져나오고놀라운기술과현란한볼거리를제공하는가운데서도바둑은쇠퇴하지않고심지어온라인게임으로다시태어나꾸준히인기를끌고있다.가장오랜세월지속된놀이이자하나의문화로자리잡은바둑의세계는어떤매력이존재할까.
옛격언에‘기도오득(基道五得)’이라하여바둑을통해얻을수있는다섯가지좋은점을말하고있다.첫째는좋은친구요,둘째는사람과의화목함이고,셋째는인생의교훈이며,넷째는마음의깨달음,그리고마지막다섯째는천수(天壽)를누리는것이다.이에바둑을가리켜‘인생의축소판’이라하는지도모른다.하나의놀이를통해이러한것을얻는다는것은쉽게이해하기어려운일이지만일단바둑을접하고그깊이를이해하게되면이러한삶의깨달음또한저절로터득하게될것이다.그렇다고바둑이보통사람은하기어려운심오한것이라고만생각할필요는없다.바둑이주는깊이와의미때문에바둑이주는재미가반감되는것은아니다.오히려그즐거움때문에바둑의가치가더욱인정받고있는것이다.누구나바둑의기본원리만제대로터득하면바둑을쉽고도재미있게즐길수있기때문이다.

여성프로기사가쓴외국인을위한영문바둑입문서
바둑은언뜻생각하면두사람이번갈아검은돌과흰돌을둔다는간단한규칙이지만흔히배우기어렵다고여겨진다.몇수앞을내다보며수를두어야할뿐아니라상대방의수를예측하고그생각을읽어야하는지극히심리적이고전략적인놀이이기때문이다.접하면접할수록끝이없는바둑의길이지만처음바둑을시작하고자하는이들에게는더욱어렵게만여겨진다.배울수있는곳은한정되어있고혼자시작하기엔기초부터배울만한정보가부족하기때문이다.특히바둑이중국과한국,일본에서뿌리깊게내려온놀이문화인탓에바둑에관심이있는외국인들은배우고싶어도한정된정보에어려움을겪어왔다.비록바둑이한국,중국,일본아시아삼국에중심을두고있기는하나바둑에대한외국인들의관심도꾸준히증가하여이미세계각지에서바둑대회가꾸준히열리고있다.외국인들의바둑에대한관심과수요는급증하고있지만이들의갈증을풀어줄만한정보는턱없이부족한것이다.
이번에현프로기사이자명지대에서바둑학을가르치고있는남치형교수가쉽게바둑을배울수있도록돕기위해펴낸신간는이런세계적인바둑애호가들을위한훌륭한안내서이다.(은행나무刊/전문영어)이책은코리아타임즈(TheKoreaTimes)에1년가량같은제목으로연재하며많은외국인바둑초보자들에게좋은평을받은것을묶은것으로바둑용어설명과경기진행방식등아주기초적인단계부터시작하여행마에이르기까지단계별로쉽게따라올수있도록정리했다.
지금껏외국인들이접할수있는바둑안내서는대체로일본에서전해진것이어서‘바둑(Baduk)’이라는용어대신‘고(Go)’라는일본어로더알려져있다.일본의고와한국의바둑이크게다른것은아니지만남치형교수는세계의바둑애호가들에게일본의‘고’가아닌한국의‘바둑’을가르치고자책의제목에‘바둑’을넣었다.한국은세계적인바둑강국이지만그동안일본이자신들의‘고’를널리홍보하고알려온것에비해한국의‘바둑’에대한홍보는아주미미한수준이었다.이에한국바둑에대한외국바둑애호가들의관심에도불구하고이렇다할정보가없었다.최근에는한국바둑용어에대한세계바둑대호가들의궁금증도커지고있으며,바둑용어가일본어위주인것에서벗어나기위해영어식표현으로바둑용어를대체하고자하는움직임도있다.이책을통해세계바둑애호가들은한국바둑문화를더자세히알수있는기회를얻을수있을것이고한국바둑의깊이뿐아니라그즐거움또한찾을수있다.
그간기초부터시작하는바둑실용서에대한필요를느꼈던각국의바둑애호가들은쉬우면서도자세한설명과이해를돕는도판을통해차근차근저자의강의를읽다보면어느새바둑의재미에푹빠질것이다.
