Description

In Go, players alternately place stones on the empty intersections of a 19x19 grid. The goal: to enclose territory behind stone perimeters and, secondarily, to tightly surround and capture enemy stones. After both players pass, they add up their territory and deduct the number of captives lost, higher score wins. As you see, the concept is simple, yet the challenge can enrich a lifetime. In truth many lifetimes, for Go has been played for thousands of years. With that long of a lineage and a worldwide following, it has come to be known by different names (Weiqi, Igo, Baduk) and to be played by slightly differing rules, but those differences seldom affect play.
