The Art of GO

"The Go player must contend less with his opponent and more with conflicting

impulses and emotions within himself."

Go is based on the ancient board game of Chinese origin, which is very

popular today in Japan and other Asian countries. In recent years, though,

the game has become increasingly popular in the United States, Canada, and

Europe because of its challenging nature. The game is played with black and

white stones on a grid of 19 vertical and 19 horizontal lines.

Although the rules of the game are very simple, the strategy necessary to

win is very complex -- comparable to chess. The game will stimulate both

analytical and intuitive thought processes.
