About Class

Gentlemen should not waste their time on trivial games - they should study Go.
- Confucius, The Analects, ca. 500 B. C. E.

Go is to Western chess what philosophy is to double entry accounting.
— from Shibumi , bestseller by Trevanian

Come here to learn the ancient Asian board game Go (also known as Igo, Weiqi or Baduk). A game that is so beautiful, elegant, incredibly simple and incredibly deep. There are more possible games of Go than there are atoms in the universe. Asians believe that the entire world is mirrored in Go and may draw on Go wisdom to help them win battles or lead a successful business.

Go is an abstract intellectual game like chess. There is no element of luck in the game. The main difference compared to chess is that Go requires a lot more intuition and pattern recognition skills rather than just calculating / reading ahead. This makes it the new challenge for those developing artificial intelligence. Chess computers can beat the world champion, Go computers are just average.

Go clubs can be found around the world and you can find lots of partners to play it with online at any time of the day or night.
