How a game is Progressed

How to get started?

By now you may already understand how to capture stones.However, in the beginning of a real game, you have to play on a board with nothing on it.

First, please take a look at the vast 19x19 board and see how we divide it into areas and how we refer to each one..

As shown above, the 4 areas near the coner of the board is called "corners" and the area between the two corners are "sides" and the center is "middle".There are no distinct borders between these areas and we are just using these names for convenience.
From which area do you want to start to move?

The basic rule of Go

Go is perhaps the oldest board game in the world. The rules are very simple, and you can learn them in a few minutes - but they lead to a countless number of intriguing patterns and clever maneuvers. The following pages describe how the game is played and scored. Learning to play is easy, but learning to play well requires much study and practice. The best way to learn, especially at the beginning, is simply to play games and become familiar with the patterns.

For much of the world, Go is more than just an amusing pastime. In ancient times Go was considered a martial art and was part of the training of warriors in Japan, China, and Korea. Along with calligraphy, music, and painting, Go was also one of the components of classical education for both men and women. Nowadays there are millions of Go enthusiasts in Asia and throughout the world. Top players participate in professional leagues, and championship matches draw large television audiences. With the creation of the internet, amateurs from all over the world can now meet each other for games while in their own homes and watch professional players compete. We hope you will come to enjoy this beautiful game.
