 19x19 board  9x9 board |
Go is a 2 player game usually played on a board of 19 horizontal and 19 vertical lines, but other board sizes--9x9 and 13x13--may be choosen at Yahoo!. Certain intersections, or points, are marked with small dots as shown; the markings create visual reference points and have no effect on play. One player, known as Black, uses a set of black stones; the other player, White, uses a set of white stones.
The object of the game is to get the most points, which are earned by surrounding territory (empty intersections) and opposing pieces. |
