About this deal

This allows players of very different strengths to play a proper game giving each player a 50% chance of winning and unusually compared to other games with a handicapping system Go players often play handicap games. However, as with a lot of simple concepts, it can take a little while to grasp the concepts and a long time to master them. It looked like a fun, simple game to play that wouldn’t take too much time to learn and would be one we could get plenty of other people to play. If you want someone to come and visit your organisation and give a presentation on Go and how to play, contact us.

The second round works the same as the first, as does round three, although there is a variant with regards to which direction you pass the cards.

It is part of popular culture today in Japan, China and Korea, and known as Igo, Weiqi or Baduk respectively in these countries. Although publicly available Go-playing programs that were created before the rise of AI are not up to the standards of experienced human players, especially on the 19x19 board, they can provide some useful practice opportunities on small boards, especially 9x9.If you are new to Go a good way to practice, without the embarassment of a real opponent, is to play a computer program. For a more formal game there are many tournaments and matches you can join in at locations all around the country.

Free programs suitable for beginners are Igowin ( Igowin Tutor for iPad/iPhone) and Peter's Go, and Leela is dan level (even on 9x9). As I have already mentioned, it isn’t heavy or complicated so it is a nice easy game to get to the table for anyone who isn’t into the heavier board games.

The game doesn’t end until the board fills up, or, more often, when both players agree to end it, at which time whoever controls the most territory wins. Tips for Getting Stronger: Written for the UK Go Challenge for youngsters; the later sections bring in a few ideas not covered by the above. It is interesting to see what other people are collecting and weighing up whether to block someone else or maximise your own points. It is a great introductory game for those new to the idea of card drafting as it is very simple to teach and easy to pick up.
