Go is a strategic board game for two players in which the aim is to surround more territory than the opponent does. According to the International Go Federation, “The history of Go stretches back some 3000 years, yet throughout this time the rules have remained essentially the same. The game is thought to have originated in China or the Himalayas. Mythology has it that the future of Tibet was once decided over a Go board. It is said that a Buddhist ruler refused to go into battle and instead challenged the aggressor to a game of Go to avoid bloodshed. In the Far East Go enjoys great popularity today, and interest in the game is growing steadily in the rest of the world.” Today, there are over 40 million Go players worldwide.
