Gaia's game of thinking games - Go -
An impressive history. It appears in Chinese literature from 2000 years ago, but its origins are much earlier. The game is found in all social classes, and gifted players could be accepted into Go academies. The game reached Europe in the late nineteenth century, but until 1920 only a few pioneers knew the game.
The goal of Go is to score more points than the opponent by conquering territories and capturing the opponent's playing pieces. A piece or group of pieces is captured by "closing" opposing pieces, removed from the board, and counted at the end of the game.
The Go board is a grid of 19 horizontal lines by 19 vertical lines. The pieces are placed on the points where the lines intersect (361 points). There are 181 black pieces and 180 white pieces, enough to occupy every point on the board.
