Traditional GO Game


GO is a strategic, two-player board game originating in ancient China between 2000 BC and 200 BC. which was later adopted and promoted by the Japanese. The game is now popular throughout East Asia. The English name go originated from the Japanese character 碁 (go). The Chinese name (圍棋) roughly translates to the "Board Game of Surrounding (Territory)". Two players compete in acquiring territory by placing markers on a smooth wooden board with a simple grid drawn on it, usually 19 by 19 lines. Each player seeks to enclose territory with his markers (called "s-tones"), much like partitioning a field with sections of fencing. Further, each player may capture his opponent's markers. The object of the game is to enclose the most territory, a simple goal the leads to the elegant and fascinating complexities of go.
