Go is a strategic board game that originated in China over 4,000 years ago. It is played on a grid board with various sizes, commonly 19×19, 13×13, or 9×9 lines. Here’s a brief description:
- Board: The board consists of a grid of intersecting lines. The most common size is 19×19, but smaller boards like 13×13 and 9×9 are also used, especially for beginners or quick games.
- Pieces: The game uses two types of stones, black and white. Each player has an ample supply of stones in their color.
- Objective: The goal is to control more territory on the board than your opponent. This is achieved by placing stones on the intersections of the lines and surrounding your opponent’s stones to capture them.
- Rules: Players take turns placing one stone on an empty intersection. Stones are placed on the board and can be removed if surrounded by the opponent’s stones. Capturing stones removes them from the board, and controlling territory is done by surrounding empty spaces.
- Endgame: The game ends when both players consecutively pass their turn, indicating that no more profitable moves can be made. The score is calculated based on the number of controlled intersections and captured stones, and the player with the highest score wins.
