1.2: What are the rules?

The rules of Go are very simple, and almost every beginners Go site will list them.

There are several sites on the web which contain a more detailed explanation of the rules:

• Robert JASIEK. Robert also posts a 'Rules FAQ' to the newsgroup which is aimed especially at beginners
• Jan VAN DER STEEN
• Mori's Go Page. Interactively teaches some basics as well
• Tel's go page. Also provides fundamentals about connecting, attacking, etc.

The American Go Association has published a booklet introducing the game of Go which is available for download in .pdf format

The European Go Federation has published a series of booklets in the main European languages, developing a simplified approach to rules, oriented toward easy teaching. Contact the European Go Federation through the address as given in faq section 2.2.
