Go, also known as Weiqi or Wei'qi, Wei'chi in Mandarin Chinese (围棋, traditional chinese : 圍棋), and Baduk or Padhook in Korean, is a strategic, deterministic 2-player board game originating in ancient China, before 200 BC. The game is now popular throughout East Asia and on the Internet. The goal of the game is to place stones to control a larger board territory than one's opponent, while preventing them from being surrounded and captured by the opponent.

Here you'll find hundreds of AGA or EGF (also Nihon Ki-in 日本棋院 & Kansai Ki-in or server IGS KGS) rated players from 21 kyu to 9 dan & masters from USA, Russia, from Asia (China, Korea or Japan), from Europe (France, Germany or Italy...) & all over the world. Most play by themselves but the use of Go engines like CrazyStone, SmartGo, Fuego or GnuGO and even artificial intelligence like AlphaGo / AlphaZero is authorized. When finished, games are annotated by joseki and may be commented by other players.

The English name Go originated from the Japanese pronunciation 'go' of the Chinese characters. In Japanese the name is written 碁. The Chinese name Wéiqí roughly translates as 'encirclement chess', the 'board game of surrounding', or the 'enclosing game'.
