What Is Go?

In a nutshell, go is an oriental board game of skill played between two people. Played on board with 19 lines crisscrossing the surface, each player takes turns placing black and white counters, called stones, on the vacant intersections. The object of the game is to surround more points of territory than your opponent (each vacant intersection counts as one point).

This definition is much too brief to be adequate, and it hides from view the incredible richness of the game.
