What Is Go?

In a nutshell, go is an oriental board game of skill played between two people. Played on board with 19 lines crisscrossing the surface, each player takes turns placing black and white counters, called stones, on the vacant intersections. The object of the game is to surround more points of territory than your opponent (each vacant intersection counts as one point).

This definition is much too brief to be adequate, and it hides from view the incredible richness of the game. If you’re interested in obtaining more information on go, the links provided at this site will direct you to sources that can give you the location of the club nearest you. There, enthusiastic go players will be delighted in providing you with more details on how to play this wonderful game.
