Go is an ancient board game that originated in China more than 4,500 years ago.
It is played by two players who take turns placing black and white stones on a grid of 19 by 19 lines.
The goal of the game is to surround more territory than the opponent and capture their stones by enclosing them with your own.
Go is a game of strategy, intuition, and creativity, and it has been compared to war, art, and philosophy.

Go is known as Weiqi(围棋) in Chinese, Baduk (바둑) in Korean, and Igo (囲碁) in Japanese.

It is widely popular in East Asa, where it is considered one of the four arts of the cultured scholar, along with calligraphy, painting, and playing the guqin.
Go has also attracted many fans from other parts of the world, especially since the advent of the internet and artificial intelligence.
