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.


Robert Jasiek has an excellent and very detailed web page: [ext] Jasiek's Go Rules Page. Much of the information about rules presented in Sensei's Library originally came from him.
