  Comments:
it's called nigiri in english. the explanation is now properly marked as such. further more it's not just any stones that are taken but only white stones, and the other player (who has the bowl with black stones) takes only one or two (whatever he wants to guess) so I clarified the wording to make that clear. Also changed the "usu." to make it comform with other go entries and shorter as well.
