• Players of the game of Go often use jargon to describe situations on
the board and surrounding the game. Many of these technical terms
have been borrowed from Japanese, mostly when no short

inspired and original move, which balances startergy and tactics to
turn a losing game into a winning one. Considered to be singular,
this move is of such rarity that a full time Go player might play a
single such move in a lifetime. The term comes from the Japanese
word Kami no ltte and an example of such a divine move is found in
the Game 4 of a match between Leo Sedol Vs Alpha Go.

some sort of symbolic revenge against the English in the Falklands

• London’s financial industry has boomed since the deregulation of
British financial markets (the Big Bang) in the 1980s under the Thatcher
government but has also become dominated by foreign
companies, especially American investment banks, rather than
British firms (a result opposite to the original intention of the
reforms). The analogy is typically used to mark a debate over
whether it matters if an industry is primarily domestically owned if
easing of foreign ownership restrictions allows the economy to
benefit from foreign investment and increased global
competition.
• What nickname is given to this phenomenon of success of foreign
financial firms in London analogous to the success rate in the
sporting arena?

• When you hear the surname, every die-hard cricket fan remembers the more
famous person and cricketer, who played for England from 1954-1974 and was
the first player to appear in 100 Test Matches, which came against Australia in
1968. However, being his eldest son, X followed a good season with Kent and
was included in the England squad for the tour of India in 1984-85 and he
made his Test debut in the Bombay Test match. Captain David Gower asked
him to bowl, and in the fourth ball of his over, he bowled Indian all-rounder
Kapil Dev, which made him the 19th England Bowler to take a wicket in his first
over. He went on to play 6 Tests and 3 ODIs for England, even captaining
England in the fourth Test of the five-match series against the West Indies in
1988 in the infamous “summer of four captains”.

completely different purpose. Who is this cricketer? What was the reason of
his second/later India visits?
