Go?


Go?!


I think that not all of you know what go is. On the other side, many of you know about the manga series Hikaru No Go. Hikaru No Go is a Japanese manga series, a coming of age story based on the board game Go written by Yumi Hotta and illustrated by Takeshi Obata with an anime adaptation.

What Is Go?
Go is a game played on a 19 line x 19 line board. One player takes black stones and the other takes white stones from bowls or boxes, and they put them down in turns on the intersections.

What are the rules?
There are only two basic rules that generate the principles of the game, and one can be playing in minutes on a small 9 x 9 board. As one graduates to the larger-sized 13 x 13 and the official 19 x 19 boards, the game's complexities and subtleties begin to unfold, providing a never-ending source of enjoyment as new levels of play are reached.
