What is Go?
Go is
an Oriental game of strategy emphasizing patience, planning, respect
and analysis. Go was one of the martial arts expected to be
mastered by Samurai. Today it is played by professionals all over the
world for prize money, fame, and enjoyment. In the east, skill at
go is a sign of a cultured person.Go is considered to be the deepest game of strategy in the world - even greater than Chess. The greatest computer in the world can beat the world champion in Chess, but a strong 9 year-old student training to be a professional Go player beats the best program in the world every year while giving the computer an enormous handicap! Five minutes to learn, a lifetime to master, studying Go is known to improve students grades, self-esteem, and visual perception. A well-developed handicap system makes Go enjoyable for players of different skill levels. Go encourages fierce competition, side by side with modesty and mutual respect, in the eastern martial arts tradtion. KGS - Play
