Sobre Go
Play Go free online on Strategy Games. Surround groups, fight for territory, and learn the world's deepest classic board game at a friendly pace. Local pass-and-play and CPU difficulties make it easy to practice life-and-death ideas without installing software.
Cómo jugar a Go
- Players alternate placing one stone on an empty intersection (board size depends on the mode offered).
- Orthogonally connected stones form groups. Liberties are empty adjacent intersections.
- Fill a group's last liberty to capture it and remove those stones.
- When both players pass, count territory and captures (and any komi if applied) to decide the winner.
Consejos y estrategia
- Don't fill your own eyes unless you must — two eyes make a group alive.
- Play moves that both build territory and limit the opponent's.
- Capture races (semeai) are decided by liberty counts — count carefully.
- On Easy CPU, experiment; on Hard, value solid shape over random fights.
