Inhaltsangabe

Go is the Chinese board game which is comparable to chess. Now that computers can play chess as well as the best players, the appeal of Go is higher - its players can retain the vanity that chess players have lost!

Teach Yourself Go explains the rules of Go and, through step-by-step illustrations, shows how to play the game. The book also covers the origins of the game and its history and culture.
