What is Go?
Go, also known as Weiqi, is a strategic board game that originated in China more than 2,500 years ago. It is played by two players on a square grid board, with the goal of capturing territory by strategically placing stones. Go is known for its simplicity in rules, yet incredible complexity in strategy. It is considered one of the oldest board games still played today, and its popularity continues to grow around the world.
