Description

It is said there have never been two identical games of Go, and until March 2016 when AlphaGo soundly defeated Korea's Lee Sedol 4-1, there had not existed a computer program that could reliably beat Go experts--let alone the masters.

Despite this, Go is surprisingly easy to learn. There are only two rules: 1. Every piece that remains on the board must have at least one open point (called a “liberty”) directly next to it, and 2. Players are not allowed to make a move that would return the game to a previous position.

  • CLASSIC STRATEGY GAME: Originating 4,000 years ago, Go is one of the most complex games you can learn easily
  • ECONOMY SIZE: Standard 19x19 playing field on a compact and portable 29cm x 29cm square (11.4" x 11.4")
  • NATURAL WOOD: 2cm thick wood board with clear, legible silkscreen gridlines
  • 361 STONES: Game comes with a full set of 361 double-convex bakelite stones (180 white, 181 black) aka goishi stones
  • GO WITH THE BEST: You'll also receive two resealable bags to hold each set of stones so clean up is as easy as can be
