- Go 囲碁
- Black and White stones are placed on a grid with a click. This is go - a game that's familiar to virtually everyone in Japan.
- Currently, there are an estimated 3 million go enthusiasts in Japan.
- The board on which go is played is called a go-ban.
- And these black and white stones are placed on the go-ban.
- The rules are simple. The game is played by two players, and the object is to gain more territory than your opponent.
- The board consists of a grid of 19 vertical an 19 horizontal lines. The players place their stones on the intersections of these lines in turn.
- Once you put down your stone, you cannot move it.
- The size of your territory is calculated by the number of unoccupied intersections surrounded by your stones.
- So the aim is to have more of these than your opponent.
- Go is said to have originated in China, some 4000 years ago.
- On a grid of 19 lines in each direction, the total number of intersections is 361. Because this is close to the number of days in a year.
- it's thought that go once had a close link with astronomy and astrology.
- Go was popular with samurai warriors in the feudal days.
- The game is all about strategically expanding your territory.
- so it was seen as a valuable pastime for generals aiming to expand their conquests through war.
- The 17th century saw the emergence of professional go players.
- They vied with each other to demonstrate their prowess at the annual competition held in Edo Castle.
- Around the same time, special go houses where common people could play against each other were set up one after another.
- This was how the level of play in Japan took a giant leap forward.
- Today, with the spread of the Internet, you can play go online against all kinds of people.
- And there are go enthusiasts all around the world.
- Right now, go is played in about 70 countries and reagions, by more than 40 million people.
