Learn to Play the Logic Game Go

February 7, 2014 1:23 pm

Go is an ancient board game made up of a grid-based wooden board and circular stone pieces in black and white. Opposing players each attempt to “capture” one another’s pieces by fully surrounding them with their own pieces, and the main objective of the game is to cover a larger total area of the board than the other player. While its rules are fairly simple, Go is a strategic game that is believed to improve your logical thinking and even relieve stress.

American Go Association
Like the name implies, the American Go Association connects Go players from all around the country. On their website, you can learn the basic rules of go, research its history, and research strategies before you begin to play. The site also offers a number of different ways to play the game, including online communities, computer opponents and even information about Go clubs in your area.

British Go Association
The British Go Association also offers useful information about the rules and strategy of the game, and it even features a number of video tutorials to teach new players in a more visual way. The site also includes lists of famous Go players and more information on the classic board game.
