Go is a two-player, strategic turn based board game. It originated in China, probably in the third millenium B.C., and is very popular in Japan and Korea as well. It didn't reach Europe and America until the end of the 19th century.
The rules of the game are quite simple, involving the placing of black and white stones on a grid, and attempting to control squares on the grid by surrounding them with stones of one's own color. Despite the simple rules, the game is strategically very deep, even more complex than chess. Unlike chess, computer programs for playing Go are considered highly inferior to most human players.[1].
