go/wei chi

maybe the oldest known board game. probably originated in china and is very popular all over asia, particularly japan. in many ways is as eastern as chess is western, only there are far more possibilities with go than with chess, and possibly far more challenge. was turned onto the game by reading david wingrove’s chungkuo series (see books for a review). for much more information, please see the american go association for information on history, how to play, and where to find people to play with.
