It is rich in strategy despite relatively simple rules and is played by two players, who alternately place black and white stones on the vacant intersections of a grid of 19\u00d719 lines. The object of the game is to use one&#8217;s stones to surround a larger portion of the board than the opponent. Once placed on the board, stones can only be moved if they are captured. When a game concludes, the controlled points (territory) are counted along with captured stones to determine who has more points. By the 3rd Century BC it was already a popular pastime, with a reference to the game in the \u2018Analects of Confucius\u2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/nzchinasociety.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Baduk-Go-.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-13257 aligncenter\" alt=\"Baduk Go\" src=\"http:\/\/nzchinasociety.org.nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Baduk-Go--420x300.jpg\" width=\"420\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Go is known as Weiqi in China and Baduk in Korea and these two countries are the world leaders.\u00a0 Come and see\u00a0 Kim Hyumwoo demonstrate, and learn the basics of the game.
