A Go professional is a professional player of the game of Go. Although the game was developed in China, the establishment of the Four Go houses by Tokugawa Ieyasu at the start of the 17th century shifted the focus of the Go world to Japan.

State sponsorship, allowing players to dedicate themselves full-time to study of the game, and fierce competition between individual houses resulted in a significant increase in the level of play.

During this period, the best player of his generation was given the prestigious title Meijin master and the post of Godokoro minister of Go.

Of special note are the players who were dubbed Kisei Go Sage. After the end of the Tokugawa shogunate and the Meiji Restoration period, the Go houses slowly disappeared, and in , the Nihon Ki-in Japanese Go Association was formed.

Top players from this period often played newspaper-sponsored matches of 2—10 games. For much of the 20th century, Go continued to be dominated by players trained in Japan.

After his return to Korea, the Hanguk Kiwon Korea Baduk Association was formed and caused the level of play in South Korea to rise significantly in the second half of the 20th century.

With the advent of major international titles from onward, it became possible to compare the level of players from different countries more accurately.

His disciple Lee Chang-ho was the dominant player in international Go competitions for more than a decade spanning much of s and early s; he is also credited with groundbreaking works on the endgame.

As of [update] , Japan lags behind in the international Go scene. Historically, more men than women have played Go. Special tournaments for women exist, but until recently, men and women did not compete together at the highest levels; however, the creation of new, open tournaments and the rise of strong female players, most notably Rui Naiwei , have in recent years highlighted the strength and competitiveness of emerging female players.

The level in other countries has traditionally been much lower, except for some players who had preparatory professional training in East Asia.

A famous player of the s was Edward Lasker. In , Manfred Wimmer became the first Westerner to receive a professional player's certificate from an East Asian professional Go association.

It is possible to play Go with a simple paper board and coins, plastic tokens, or white beans and coffee beans for the stones; or even by drawing the stones on the board and erasing them when captured.

More popular midrange equipment includes cardstock, a laminated particle board , or wood boards with stones of plastic or glass. More expensive traditional materials are still used by many players.

The most expensive Go sets have black stones carved from slate and white stones carved from translucent white shells, played on boards carved in a single piece from the trunk of a tree.

Chinese boards are slightly larger, as a traditional Chinese Go stone is slightly larger to match. The board is not square; there is a ratio in length to width, because with a perfectly square board, from the player's viewing angle the perspective creates a foreshortening of the board.

The added length compensates for this. More recently, the related California Torreya Torreya californica has been prized for its light color and pale rings as well as its reduced expense and more readily available stock.

The natural resources of Japan have been unable to keep up with the enormous demand for the slow-growing Kaya trees; both T.

Other, less expensive woods often used to make quality table boards in both Chinese and Japanese dimensions include Hiba Thujopsis dolabrata , Katsura Cercidiphyllum japonicum , Kauri Agathis , and Shin Kaya various varieties of spruce , commonly from Alaska, Siberia and China's Yunnan Province.

However it may happen, especially in beginners' games, that many back-and-forth captures empty the bowls before the end of the game: in that case an exchange of prisoners allows the game to continue.

Traditional Japanese stones are double-convex, and made of clamshell white and slate black. In China, the game is traditionally played with single-convex stones [] made of a composite called Yunzi.

The material comes from Yunnan Province and is made by sintering a proprietary and trade-secret mixture of mineral compounds derived from the local stone.

This process dates to the Tang Dynasty and, after the knowledge was lost in the s during the Chinese Civil War , was rediscovered in the s by the now state-run Yunzi company.

The term yunzi can also refer to a single-convex stone made of any material; however, most English-language Go suppliers specify Yunzi as a material and single-convex as a shape to avoid confusion, as stones made of Yunzi are also available in double-convex while synthetic stones can be either shape.

Traditional stones are made so that black stones are slightly larger in diameter than white; this is to compensate for the optical illusion created by contrasting colors that would make equal-sized white stones appear larger on the board than black stones.

The bowls for the stones are shaped like a flattened sphere with a level underside. Chinese bowls are slightly larger, and a little more rounded, a style known generally as Go Seigen ; Japanese Kitani bowls tend to have a shape closer to that of the bowl of a snifter glass, such as for brandy.

The bowls are usually made of turned wood. Mulberry is the traditional material for Japanese bowls, but is very expensive; wood from the Chinese jujube date tree, which has a lighter color it is often stained and slightly more visible grain pattern, is a common substitute for rosewood, and traditional for Go Seigen-style bowls.

Other traditional materials used for making Chinese bowls include lacquered wood, ceramics , stone and woven straw or rattan. The names of the bowl shapes, Go Seigen and Kitani , were introduced in the last quarter of the 20th century by the professional player Janice Kim as homage to two 20th-century professional Go players by the same names, of Chinese and Japanese nationality, respectively, who are referred to as the "Fathers of modern Go".

The traditional way to place a Go stone is to first take one from the bowl, gripping it between the index and middle fingers, with the middle finger on top, and then placing it directly on the desired intersection.

It is considered respectful towards White for Black to place the first stone of the game in the upper right-hand corner. It is considered poor manners to run one's fingers through one's bowl of unplayed stones, as the sound, however soothing to the player doing this, can be disturbing to one's opponent.

Similarly, clacking a stone against another stone, the board, or the table or floor is also discouraged. However, it is permissible to emphasize select moves by striking the board more firmly than normal, thus producing a sharp clack.

Additionally, hovering one's arm over the board usually when deciding where to play is also considered rude as it obstructs the opponent's view of the board.

Apart from the points above it also points to the need to remain calm and honorable, in maintaining posture, and knowing the key specialised terms, such as titles of common formations.

Generally speaking, much attention is paid to the etiquette of playing, as much as to winning or actual game technique.

In combinatorial game theory terms, Go is a zero-sum , perfect-information , partisan , deterministic strategy game , putting it in the same class as chess, draughts checkers , and Reversi Othello ; however it differs from these in its game play.

Although the rules are simple, the practical strategy is complex. The game emphasizes the importance of balance on multiple levels and has internal tensions.

To secure an area of the board, it is good to play moves close together; however, to cover the largest area, one needs to spread out, perhaps leaving weaknesses that can be exploited.

Playing too low close to the edge secures insufficient territory and influence, yet playing too high far from the edge allows the opponent to invade.

It has been claimed that Go is the most complex game in the world due to its vast number of variations in individual games. Decisions in one part of the board may be influenced by an apparently unrelated situation in a distant part of the board.

Plays made early in the game can shape the nature of conflict a hundred moves later. The game complexity of Go is such that describing even elementary strategy fills many introductory books.

In fact, numerical estimates show that the number of possible games of Go far exceeds the number of atoms in the observable universe.

Research of go endgame by John H. Conway led to the invention of the surreal numbers. Go long posed a daunting challenge to computer programmers , putting forward "difficult decision-making tasks, an intractable search space, and an optimal solution so complex it appears infeasible to directly approximate using a policy or value function".

Many in the field of artificial intelligence consider Go to require more elements that mimic human thought than chess.

The reasons why computer programs had not played Go at the professional dan level prior to include: []. As an illustration, the greatest handicap normally given to a weaker opponent is 9 stones.

It was not until August that a computer won a game against a professional level player at this handicap. It was the Mogo program, which scored this first victory in an exhibition game played during the US Go Congress.

In March , Google next challenged Lee Sedol , a 9 dan considered the top player in the world in the early 21st century, [] to a five-game match.

Leading up to the game, Lee Sedol and other top professionals were confident that he would win; [] however, AlphaGo defeated Lee in four of the five games.

In October , DeepMind announced a significantly stronger version called AlphaGo Zero which beat the previous version by games to 0.

An abundance of software is available to support players of the game. This includes programs that can be used to view or edit game records and diagrams, programs that allow the user to search for patterns in the games of strong players, and programs that allow users to play against each other over the Internet.

Some web servers [ citation needed ] provide graphical aids like maps, to aid learning during play. These graphical aids may suggest possible next moves, indicate areas of influence, highlight vital stones under attack and mark stones in atari or about to be captured.

There are several file formats used to store game records, the most popular of which is SGF, short for Smart Game Format.

Programs used for editing game records allow the user to record not only the moves, but also variations, commentary and further information on the game.

Electronic databases can be used to study life and death situations, joseki , fuseki and games by a particular player.

Programs are available that give players pattern searching options, which allow players to research positions by searching for high-level games in which similar situations occur.

Internet-based Go servers allow access to competition with players all over the world, for real-time and turn-based games.

China's salami slicing strategy is considered a manifestation of Go game. Other books have used Go as a theme or minor plot device.

The manga Japanese comic book and anime series Hikaru no Go , released in Japan in , had a large impact in popularizing Go among young players, both in Japan and—as translations were released—abroad.

Despite this Go still features heavily in her character's personality. Go has also been featured in a number of television series.

Starz 's science fiction thriller Counterpart , for instance, is rich in references the opening itself featuring developments on a Go board , including applications of the game's metaphors, a book about life and death being displayed, and Go matches, accurately played, relevant to the plot.

The corporation and brand Atari was named after the Go term. In the endgame, it can often happen that the state of the board consists of several subpositions that do not interact with the others.

The whole board position can then be considered as a mathematical sum, or composition, of the individual subpositions.

A review of literature by Fernand Gobet , de Voogt and Jean Retschitzki shows that relatively little scientific research has been carried out on the psychology of Go, compared with other traditional board games such as chess.

According to the review of Gobet and colleagues, the pattern of brain activity observed with techniques such as PET and fMRI does not show large differences between Go and chess.

On the other hand, a study by Xiangchuan Chen et al. There is some evidence to suggest a correlation between playing board games and reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

In formal game theory terms, Go is a non-chance, combinatorial game with perfect information. Informally that means there are no dice used and decisions or moves create discrete outcome vectors rather than probability distributions , the underlying math is combinatorial, and all moves via single vertex analysis are visible to both players unlike some card games where some information is hidden.

Perfect information also implies sequence—players can theoretically know about all past moves. Affine transformations can theoretically add non-zero and complex utility aspects even to two player games.

Go begins with an empty board. It is focused on building from the ground up nothing to something with multiple, simultaneous battles leading to a point-based win.

Chess is tactical rather than strategic, as the predetermined strategy is to trap one individual piece the king. A similar comparison has been drawn among Go, chess and backgammon , perhaps the three oldest games that enjoy worldwide popularity.

Chess, with rows of soldiers marching forward to capture each other, embodies the conflict of "man vs. Because the handicap system tells Go players where they stand relative to other players, an honestly ranked player can expect to lose about half of their games; therefore, Go can be seen as embodying the quest for self-improvement, "man vs.

The game is easy to learn however will require years to master, if you ever do. Is Go as complex as the board game chess?

The concept of Go is simpler to grasp however it is far more complex. As far as capturing is concerned, a string of stones is treated as a single unit.

As with isolated stones, a string is captured when all of its liberties are occupied by enemy stones. In Diagram 6 the strings of Diagram 5 have both been reduced to just one liberty.

Note that the black string in the top right is not yet captured because of the internal liberty at f. The two stones at the top left of Diagram 6 can each be captured independently at g or h.

In Diagram 7 we see the position which would result if Black captured at e and White captured at f and at g.

The remaining black stone could be captured at h. As with the capture of a single stone, the points formerly occupied by the black string have become white territory, and vice versa.

Diagrams 8 and 9 illustrate the rule governing self-capture. In Diagram 8 , White may not play at i or j , since either of these plays would be self-capture; the stones would then have no liberties.

However, if the outside liberties have been filled, as shown in Diagram 9 , then the plays at i and j become legal; they fill the last black liberty in each case, and result in the black stones being captured and removed from the board as White's prisoners.

In Diagram 9 , White was able to play at i and j because these plays result in the capture of the adjacent black stones.

Since White's plays capture some stones, they do not count as self-capture. A different situation is shown in Diagram The black string here could only be captured if White were able to play at both m and n.

Since the first of these plays would be self-capture, there is no way that White can carry out the capture. These two separate spaces within the group are known as eyes.

In Diagram 11 , the black string at the bottom is in danger of being captured. To ensure that Black's string has two eyes, Black needs to play at o.

If White plays at o , the black string will no longer be able to make two eyes, and cannot avoid eventual capture; White can always fill in the outside liberties and then play at p and at q.

Black plays at p or q would only hasten the string's death. The black string at the top left of Diagram 11 is already alive even though there is a White stone inside one of its eyes.

Since White can never capture the black stones, the White stone caught inside the string cannot be saved.

In the course of a real game, players are not obliged to complete the capture of an isolated dead string once it is clear to both players that the string is dead.

We call this a hopeless string. In Diagram 11 , once White has played at o , the situation may be left as it is until the end of the game.

Then, the hopeless strings are simply removed from the board and counted together with the capturing player's other prisoners.

At the top of Diagram 12 , Black can capture a stone by playing at r.

Go is ancient board game which takes simple elements: line and circle, black and white, stone and wood, combines them with simple rules and generates subtleties which have enthralled players for millennia. Go is an ancient Chinese/Japanese board game. Players alternate placing black and white stones, with the goal to surround and capture their opponent's pieces and territory. Unlike chess, the number of potential moves is so great that even modern computers cannot beat most professional human players. Go is probably one of the world's most intimidating games, one which conjures up images of players gleefully setting out for blood as they devise militaristic board moves. This complex exercise in strategy originated some 4, years ago in the East and has no direct Western counterpart. Go is an abstract strategy board game for two players in which the aim is to surround more territory than the opponent. The game was invented in China more than 2, years ago and is believed to be the oldest board game continuously played to the present day. Go Board Game This fascinating game of strategy can be traced back several thousand years in the Orient and is gaining popularity in the West.
