Weiqi

Weiqi, also known as Go, is an ancient strategic board game originating from China. It involves two players who take turns placing black and white stones on a 19x19 grid. The aim is to capture territory by surrounding empty areas and opponent stones. The game emphasizes strategic thinking, pattern recognition, and long-term planning, often requiring players to balance offense and defense. Despite its simple rules, Weiqi offers profound depth, with complexity arising from the interplay of stones and territories, making it a rich challenge for mental skill and intuition.
