How to play – step by step
- Place stones – Black goes first. Take turns putting one stone on an empty point where the lines cross. Stones never move.
- Liberties – Stones joined along the lines are a group. Its liberties are the empty points touching it.
- Capture – Take a group’s last liberty and it is captured. You can’t play where your stone has no liberty, unless it captures.
- Count to win – Two passes in a row end the game. Score your stones plus the empty points only you surround. White adds komi (7.5). Higher score wins.
History & origins
Go originated in China and is recorded in ancient Chinese texts. It is among the world’s oldest continuously played board-game traditions.
It later spread to Korea and Japan, where institutions and professional competition helped shape its modern culture.
Simple placement rules create deep struggles over territory and influence. The game’s antiquity is clear, while stories naming a legendary first inventor are not established history.
