This page seeks to apply the Zen theory of Nonself to the activity of Go. This page is part of both The Zen Way to Go and the Mentality Path. Selfish GoIn a game of selfish Go, the players try to win, because they want to win. This desire imposes the Self upon the game. Selfless GoIn selfless Go, the players try to win, because they are playing Go. The game of Go requires us to make the best moves we can, and thus trying to win is inherent in the game. Thus, in Selfless Go, no Self (specifically, desire to win) is imposed upon the game.
