I will teach you how to play the worlds oldest board game known as Go/Baduk/Weiqi
The origins of go are shrouded in the mists of ancient Chinese history, but the game is thought to have originated at least 2500 - 4000 years ago. It is the oldest game still played in its original form.
The board is empty at the onset of the game (unless players agree to place a handicap).
Black makes the first move, after which White and Black alternate.
A move consists of placing one stone of one's own color on an empty intersection on the board.
A player may pass his turn at any time.
A stone or solidly connected group of stones of one color is captured and removed from the board when all the intersections directly adjacent to it are occupied by the enemy. (Capture of the enemy takes precedence over self-capture.)
No stone may be played so as to recreate a former board position.
Two consecutive passes end the game. However, since black begins, white must end the game.
A player's territory consists of all the points the player has either occupied or surrounded.
The player with more territory wins.
Training & Qualifications
I have been playing go for 3 years, although my highest rank was 5k for a short amount of time, even this basic level is extremely difficult to achieve from square one.
