Learn to Play Go

The game of Go originated over 2,500 years ago in China and remains popular today throughout East Asia and the U.S. to a lesser extent. It’s a two-player game of pure skill, with no element of chance involved. Its rules are simple and elegant, but the strategies and tactics are intricate and fascinating. We’ll begin with the rules — no previous knowledge of the game is expected — and introduce some of the techniques for enjoyable and effective play. The class sessions will be a mix of presentation and practice with equipment provided. After this course you will be well equipped to play Go with friends or the local Ashland Go Club.
