Go is an ancient and complex strategy board game that is loved by people for its profound wisdom and strategy. Below is an 800-word essay on how to play Go.
1. Chessboard and chess pieces.
The Go board is a 19 19 square consisting of 361 intersections. The chess pieces are divided into black and white, with 181 sunspots and 180 white pieces. At the beginning of the game, Black takes the lead and both players take turns playing.
2. Basic Rules.
Pawn: The piece must be placed at the intersection and once played, it cannot be moved or taken away.
Qi: The blank intersection around a piece is called the "qi" of that piece. As long as a pawn has gas, it cannot be captured.
Grape: When the qi of one chess piece is blocked by all the opponent's chess pieces, the chess piece is "lifted", that is, it is captured.
Forbidden point: When a piece is placed on a certain point, making the point a forbidden point (i.e., unable to play) for the opponent's piece, the point is called a "forbidden point", and the opponent cannot play at this point.
Live and Dead: When a piece has two eyes (i.e. two blank intersections that are not surrounded by the opponent's piece) or more, the piece is called a "live piece" and cannot be captured. A piece without two eyes is called a "dead piece" and can be captured.
Robbery: When the two chess pieces surround each other and form a "robbery", one side cannot immediately remove the opponent's chess pieces in the robbery, and needs to wait for the opponent to play elsewhere before removing the pieces in the robbery.
3. Basic tactics.
Occupy territory: Expand your territory by occupying the intersection of the board with your plays.
Connection: Connect your own pieces to form a piece and enhance the momentum and power of the pieces.
Split: Splitting the opponent's piece into two or more parts, weakening the opponent's power.
Attack: By surrounding the opponent's piece, compressing its space to move, forcing it to die or be captured.
Defense: Defend your live chess and territory from the opponent's attacks.
Fourth, the winner of the decision.
Number method: At the end of the game, each side calculates their own territory (including live chess and the enclosed blank intersection), and the one with more territory wins.
Point Counting Method: At the end of the game, each side calculates the total number of intersections between their live pieces and the blank spaces they enclose, and the one with the most total wins. In the event of a tie, it is judged as a draw.
5. Go etiquette.
When playing Go, there are also some etiquette and norms to be aware of. For example, when playing chess, be quiet and focused, and don't disturb the opponent at will;Don't regret a move or move a piece that has already been played;Be respectful and polite during the game of chess, etc. These etiquettes and norms can not only improve the quality of the game, but also enhance the literacy and cultivation of players.
