it is fully translated, the link in this OP/thread isn't the full thing tho, someone uploaded a pdf here somewhere on TL and you can use archive sites like waybackmachine to find the old autobiography which was online in full

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but it seems that the link for BoxeR's biography is down. I tried using the Waybackmachine searching for Crazy as Me but it didn't show up... Anyone have this still?

Thanks man, much appreciated . Told a friend about this biography and was disappointed that the link went down.
|
This was a really cool read quick question, is it an autobiography or a biography? Just curious...

Well....these links no longer function. Bumping to request a re-translation pls?
|
I found this book recently and decided to typeset it nicely in Latex, so I can print it and read it. It might be useful also for others, to print or read in a book reader.

Feel free to write any comments, errors, so I can fix them. Also, if you would like to get some specific reformating (for A5 for instance), feel free to ask.
EDIT: Links updated for new version.

SICK! Thank you so much, that's a lot of work. If I could, I would shower you with TL+. :D

I have read the entire book and I have uploaded a new version, with several typos fixed. I have also fixed some issues from the original translation.
Btw. this book is truly amazing. I started watching BW long after Boxer's era, and so it was very interesting for me to learn more about him. And his deep understanding of professional gaming is truly amazing, I absolutely love this quote from the book. If only all other progamers were thinking like this:
The most important thing is to win. But that was insufficient. ‘How he wins’ – that was what the fans expected. Though there are fans that simply come to watch me win, I had to think, ‘How will I win? With what strategy will I make a dramatic impression and win?’ Playing games with friends as a hobby and being a progamer are different. Obviously a progamer must play games well, but they must also play games that make it enjoyable for the people that are watching. A progamer does not hope to win through the mistakes of the opponent. Controlling the game with a strategy that I created, and winning with a scenario that I desired – that was the kind of victory that I hoped for.

this book is a masterwork on giving insight of a true king.

Thank you! I was actually never able to finish reading this book, the link to the translated version got deleted.
|
wow nice! out of curiosity, do you have the original korean version anywhere?
|
Thanks, I am glad you like it! My motivation to make this was to make it for myself, so I can read it; I hate reading from websites. (And it took me less than two days, so not so much time needed.) And when already finished, I am glad I can share it with other people. It would be very sad if this wonderful translation would be lost because the blog is non-existent.
Since I was just using the web translation from that blog, I don't have the Korean version, sadly.

Really appreciate the effort. I think I'll give this a second read
