If you don't need to get any money for them, then split them up into genre, and package each genre in a box. Give them away by the box through Ebay.
"Oh, there are 48 books in this box, and you want only 12? Bad luck. You must take the entire box; that's why it's free."
If the box moves to an English-speaking country, the person there can give the books away that he doesn't want. (Or take the effort of actually selling htem.

I would probably regret if I ditched them.
It's hard to break attachment.

Go books? What rank are you? I play chess and go; and while my chess is respectable, I don't know my Go rank as I only play unranked people. Giving or throwing away those books wouldn't do. They are great references for when your active play surges up once again. That's why I kept many of my chess books. (I don't have many Go books; only about 20 or so.)
