Rules of Go
Keywords: Rules
The rules of Go are generally the same world wide. The
Basic Rules Of Go cover most of what one needs to know to play. If you are just
starting out, the Basic Rules and the
Stone Counting Method should be enough to get you started.
If you are looking for more practical information, there are pages
about Counting methods, and Scoring.
The details of the rules of Go are a deep subject with many aspects to
be explored. Different official bodies (Nihon Kiin, AGA, etc..)
have rules with various subtle differences.
What follows on this page is an index to Sensei's Library pages that
deal with various issues of rules.
- Rule texts
These pages contain information about rule sets, and external references to official sources and expert commentary
- Game Play
- Game End
- Scoring
There are two major ways that rules define the score. This page explains them. Some other pages are:
- Counting
When played on a physical board, determining the score involves manually counting. There are different counting methods in use. Some rule sets prescribe which counting method must be used. Others do not. These pages describe how to do them.
- Teaching Go Rules
Robert Jasiek has an excellent and very detailed web page:
Jasiek's Go Rules Page.
Much of the
information about rules presented in Sensei's Library originally came
from him.
This is a copy of the living page
"Rules of Go" at
