Go Rules
Go (Weiqi) distills two millennia of tactical balance. This guide keeps your dojo aligned: crisp principles, clean moves, and clarity from fuseki to yose.
Go unfolds on a 19×19 grid. New players can begin on 9×9 or 13×13 boards to focus on key patterns.
Black opens play, White responds. Stones stay fixed once placed unless they are captured.
Moves land on line intersections, not inside squares. Shape and spacing define territory lines.
Each stone needs an adjacent empty point to breathe. Connected stones share their liberties.
Remove opposing stones when their liberties disappear. Timing captures turns balance instantly.
You cannot recreate the previous position on the very next move. The loop resets after playing elsewhere.
Secure empty points fully surrounded by your stones. Every intersection you hold adds to your lead.
Count stones plus surrounded points. White receives 7.5 komi to offset Black's first-move tempo.
Both players pass when territory is settled. Review captures, confirm points, and record the result.
Perspective
Both systems honor the same board craft. Chinese scoring counts stones on the board, while Japanese scoring focuses strictly on territory.
"The rules of Go are so elegant, organic, and rigorously logical that if intelligent life forms exist elsewhere in the universe, they almost certainly play Go."
— Edward Lasker
