'''Go''' is a two-player, strategic turn based board game. It originated in [[China]], probably in the third millennium 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.

'''Go''', which is short for '''Golang''', is an easy-to-learn high-level programming language that is considered simpler than [[Java]]. Go was developed by [[Google]].
   −
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.<ref>[http://users.eniinternet.com/bradleym/Compare.html "Comparison between Go and Chess"], Comparison between Go and Chess by Milton N.

Go also benefits from a good handicap system, which allows players of differing strengths to play competitive games against each other. The system involves allowing the weaker player to start with some stones already on the board, the number increasing with the difference in the players strengths.<ref>[http://senseis.xmp.net/?Handicap Sensei's Library: Handicap]</ref>
