| | Go (board game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Go allows one to play not only even games (games between players of roughly equal strength) but also handicap games (games between players of unequal strength), see optional rules. | | | Go is a complete-knowledge, deterministic, strategy game: in the same class as chess, checkers (draughts), and reversi. | | | Go is deep, as playing against any stronger player will demonstrate (depth of the game as established by ELO ranking in Go). |

| | Chess Versus Go |
| | GO is played on a 19 by 19 grid, making up a playing field of 361 points. | | | The playing pieces are black and white stones, with one player having 181 black stones and the other player having 180 white ones. | | | At first glance, it might seem that go would be an easy game for a computer to play well. |

| | Fairy endgames with 3 pieces |
| | In each endgame, there is a strong side and a weak side, according to which side has more total wins. | | | There were 26 endgames where the longest win requires 200 or more half-moves. | | | Moves like a Knight except that it may continue moving in a straight line through unoccupied squares, each a Knight's move from the last and in the same direction away from the starting square. |

| | Mathematical Go: The Book |
| | As a typical game of Go approaches its conclusion, the active regions of play become independent of one another, and the overall board position may be regarded as a sum of disconnected partial board positions. | | | Expert Go players find some of the results (including the value depicted here) to be surprising and counterintuitive. | | | Berlekamp and Wolfe presented a new paradigm, based on Conway's theory of partisan games, for evaluating late-stage Go endgames. |

| | Thoughts upon the rules (go/baduk/weichi page of Denis Feldmann) |
| | Go (or Weichi, if we are to mention its history) has at stake occupation and control of a grid, but this was probably not initially the object of the game, and actually the initial motivation of Weichi is clouded in mystery. | | | Finally, it is necessary to know when the game is over ; except for no-pass go (a strange variant not played anywhere, I believe), this happens after a certain sequence of consecutive "pass moves" (usually two, but questions related to ko threats may require three, or even four). | | | Mathematical Go Endgames", or on line, for instance in this |

| | This is a typical chess endgame strategy which can be very important in getting to the right square at the right time (the "indirect" triangle method takes an extra move more than the direct method to get to the same square). | | | In other types of endgames, numerous useless moves can be performed without affecting the outcome of the game. | | | Even in the endgame, a seemingly minor mistake can change the outcome of the game from a win or loss to a draw. |

| | Perfection |
| | The one on the left is the longest longest shortest forced win in an endgame, meaning that the shortest path to mate is longer than all other shortest paths with the same material - and longer than all known longest shortest paths with any other material. | | | And if you're not going to play over these moves - have a look at them at least, just to see what Truth looks like typographically. | | | (The 50-move rule would prevent winning these endgames over the board, but as they have never occurred in games, and probably never will, and couldn't be won by humans anyway, there is no need for a special 250- or 300- move rule.) |
