Weiqi (Go)

Weiqi, also known as Go, is a strategic board game originating from China. Played on a 19x19 grid, two players take turns placing black and white stones, aiming to control the largest territory. The goal is to surround and capture opponent’s stones, while expanding your own domain. Despite simple rules, it offers immense complexity with countless possible moves, emphasizing strategic planning, pattern recognition, and adaptability. Go is regarded as one of the most profound classic games, blending mathematical logic with artistic intuition, and fostering deep mental engagement.
