36 Stratagems of Go
Keywords: Culture & History
These are supposed to be interpretations in go terms of 36 traditional Chinese characterisations of the Secret Art of War. They are mostly about deception of some sort, and therefore this approach to the game is 'darker' than the accepted Japanese interpretation of Go as artistic in nature. The Ma Xiaochun book makes a reasonable case that these ideas are inherent in high-level play, though some of the stratagems may be applied in a less artificial way than others. This is a copy of the living page "36 Stratagems of Go" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
