Go is a strategic board game for two players. It is known as Weiqi or Wei-Chi in Chinese (圍棋 or 围棋), Igo or Go in Japanese (囲碁 or 碁), and Baduk in Korean (바둑). Go originated in ancient China, centuries before its earliest known references in 5th century BC writing. Go takes simple elements -- line and circle, black and white, stone and wood -- combines them with simple rules and generates complicated variations which have enthralled players for millennia. Unlike chess, which is just an exercise in abstract reasoning, Go can also stimulate pattern thinking. We play and discuss Go every Friday at Room 108 when Huaxin School of Arts is in session. Both adults and kids (over six) are welcome. Thanks to Mr. John Yen (阎公骏)'s donation, admission to the club is free. GBCCA Go Club is a chapter of the American Go Association.
