Weiqi is a strategic two-player chess game, which was called "Yi" in ancient China and "Weiqi" in the west. Popular in East Asian countries (China, Japan, Korea and North Korea), it belongs to one of the four major arts of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Weiqi originated in China and was handed down by Emperor Yao. It was recorded in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was introduced to Japan through Korea and then to European and American countries. Weiqi contains rich cultural connotations in China, which is the embodiment of China culture and civilization.
Go uses a rectangular chessboard (which looks like a square) and black and white round pieces to play chess. There are 19 vertical and horizontal lines on the chessboard, which divide the chessboard into 36 1 intersections. Chess pieces walk at the intersection, and both sides play chess alternately. After landing, they can't move, and the side with more enclosures wins. Because the black side has the advantage of occupying land first, the rules artificially stipulate that the black side should stick the white side at the end. Weiqi is considered to be the most complicated board game in the world. The competition rules formulated by China, Japan and South Korea are slightly different.
