Go is a fascinating board game that originated in China more than 4,000 years ago and is widely recognized by the Chinese for its ability to train one’s brain to strategize. It is also known as baduk, wei ch'i, weiqi, and igo, and is played today by millions of people. Like Chess, Go is a game of skill - it has been described as being like four Chess games going on together on the same board. The rules of Go are very simple but present a challenge to players’ analytical skills.
