Chinese Rules
   

Chinese rules for Go are defined by the Chinese Weiqi Association, mainland China:

In Chinese rules:

SAS: Can someone please explain the bit about voiding games with complex ko? Section 6 of the Chinese rules clearly states that repetition of position is not allowed. Therefore the part of Section 20 which states that the referee may declare a draw or a replay if neither side will yield in a triple ko (or quadruple ko, etc.) is irrelevant - the no-repetition rule ensures that one side or the other must yield.

SAS: Having looked at this a bit more, it seems that there is a difference between the rules as they are written and as they are actually applied. I've modified the above to take account of this.
