Synopsis

Go is a computerized development of an original game played with stones on a 13 by 13 grid, based on occupying a territory and capturing enemy stones. This is a powerful program for one or two players, plus an option where the computer plays against itself. The program will only accept legal moves so beginners can experiment and let the program teach them how to play. Players start with a blank grid and take turns placing markers at points where the grid lines intersect; The main objective is to occupy as much territory as possible, then capture enemy markers or groups by surrounding them. Markers of the same color gathered along the grid lines form a group and can be captured when an opposing marker is placed on the last freedom point of the group. Liberties are intersections adjacent to a single or group of markers. Markers cannot be joined on diagonals to form groups.
